* A computer running a variant of *nix to compile and host the server. Speed of the machine isn't of great consequence as the protocol is a multiplexor which doesn't require much processing grunt (having sufficient free RAM is however a good idea, as the server code doesn't yet make use of threads but may fork itself extensively) | * A computer running a variant of *nix to compile and host the server.

In addition, the fgms system allows for traffic updates to be sort of 'mirrored' on (relayed to) other configurable multiplayer/relay servers. | In addition, the fgms system allows for traffic updates to be sort of 'mirrored' on (relayed to) other configurable multiplayer/relay servers. | ||
This feature makes it possible for users/clients to use an arbitrary server, but still see vehicles connected to different servers. Thus, such relay servers may additionally increase inbound/outbound traffic considerably. | This feature makes it possible for users/clients to use an arbitrary server (with acceptable latency), but still see clients/vehicles connected to different servers.
