server questions

[silveruk]

Hi,

I have had a request to setup TeamSpeak server on our web server (RedHat 7.3 Linux) which host mainly websites and have some questions below

We are expecting to handle xx users

1. How will TeamSpeak affect the server, or will it be ok ?

2. Will it affect CPanel or WHM in any way or any other software like apache, php, mysql etc.. ?

3. Does TeamSpeak take a lot of Server Load or Ram ?

Regards,
Garry

your question mostly depends on how many users are on your server, but normally TS doesn't cause much cpu-usage. (on the public-server with 15 servers running it causes a cpu-usage of around 50 % i think)

But TS will cause a more or less heavy usage of your server-traffic, where your server-output will be higher than your server input.

there's a formular to calculate the maximum traffic which could be caused on a server with x-users:

server sends:
x*(x-1)*codec

server recieves:
x*codec

so when you have 99 users and 99 are talking at the same time in one channel (ok, it's just a theoretical maximum, but...) and they're using GSM16.4 KBit/s, this will cause a server upstream of 19889.1 KB/s and a downstream of 202.95 KB/s.

But because that's just theoretical and I don't have any average numbers of how many users will sit in one channel and which codec they'll use and how many talk at the same time... so I'd suggest that you just try whether it causes any problems or not...
and whenever you experience problems, reduce the maximum number of users.
