Maxmsgsend=256 then open ports = 256?

Recommended Posts

Hi

I would like to understand MaxMsgSend? One explanation:

In a Dedic_Setup.rtf made by Radishville 208.251.17.94

Quote

"MaxMsgSend=; Maximum number of messages that can be sent in one simulation cycle. Increasing this value can decrease lag on high upload bandwidth servers.

Default: 26 "

End quote

From Codemasters

http://www.codemasters.com/support/faqs.php?gameid=14

"Problem: What ports need to be opened in a firewall to play online?

Solution: Direct X will need port 47624 or 6073 tcp both outgoing and incoming

2300-2400 tcp both incoming and outgoing

2300-2400 udp both incoming and outgoing

Operation Flashpoint needs 2234 tcp both incoming and outgoing"

This got me thinking... hmmm...

Now the question:

Do I need to open 256 ports if i use MaxMsgSend=256?

No. Messages given by MaxMsgSend limit are sent sequentially. This number is is related to max. message that may be present in send queue.

aha

Two more question:

1 So could you simplify by saying:

"Too high Maxmsgsend defently will result in Desync above 0"?

2 Can Maxmsgsend be any integer number? (The reason I ask is some peolple are only testing 64,128,196,256 etc numbers that can evenly be divided by 64)
