How do I calculate the bandwidth needed for 50 players?

You can use the `calculate_network_load` tool. Provide the tick rate, player count (50), state size per player, and your compression ratio to get the exact kbps requirements.

Can I find the best tick rate for a 56k modem?

Yes, use `optimize_server_resources` by setting the target bandwidth to 56kbps to find the highest stable tick rate for that constraint.

How does packet loss affect my game?

Use `analyze_simulation_stability` with your expected packet loss rate to receive a description of the resulting desynchronization impact.

This MCP server provides precise mathematical models for multiplayer game networking. Use calculate_network_load to determine throughput requirements for different player counts and state sizes. Use analyze_simulation_stability to evaluate how packet loss affects gameplay. Finally, use optimize_server_resources to find the ideal tick rate for specific bandwidth constraints and estimate CPU load.
