[Graph] Bandwidth monitored during game

I've added this graph as a reply to someones question about bandwidth use for upload/download while hosting a 4 player multiplayer game.  I'm re-posting it here in its own thread for anyone that may do a forum search.

As the summary shows on the right, my upload peaked at 145.96kB/s.

Some people with low upload speeds may want to note this.   I'm busy for a bit now, but what i'll do is record a similar graph when 'off-host' for comparison.  I'll do that over the next day.

    This graph is from a gold game i joined and played just now on Firebase: Sandstorm.   I was not the host on this one.. so you can use this for comparison...

    again ignore the red peek at the end.. but you can see the upload bandwidth from my machine peaked at 26.46 kB/s.

    Hope these graphs help someone who may be trying to figure out if their connection will stand the multiplayer on this game.

    I know there is lots of games that have rubber banding lag in them and who knows what else is happening on their house internet if its shared among family members.
