Roughly 6 Mbps without bots, roughly 10 to 11 Mbps with 16 bots.
It would be a big improvement if it come down some on my network as I run servers from my home and have been for 6 years.

6 mbit/s is about 732 KB/s and that is not normal for 3 clients. Bot's do not have direct influence to the bandwidth because they are integrated to the server. They do increase the amount of game events that are sent to the 3 players. However, influence of 4 mbit/s, sounds unbelievable.
EDIT:
It is quite possible the usage is higher then in Jaymod. The silEnT mod has features that Jaymod does not have. Try disabling g_spreeOptions and see if that has an effect. At least multikills is a thing that is not distributed to all clients in the Jaymod.
I'm thinking higher values maybe possible also because of the point where it is measured. The netlimiter, as far as I know, will display the actually used bandwidth for the data. When I would imagine, the router will be counting IP frames and more of the stuff that relates to the transmissions and not only the data.

Now granted all my machines are not all new, but they should be fine for running et servers in linux.
I should point out that even jaymod used with enhmod causes more or less the same result, increased lan traffic that seems pointless, I have changed nic cards, subnets and even swapped machines, if it's a lan issue on my end im not seeing what else could be generating it.
im having a hard time with that, why would there be so much variance between mods.Is the PunkBuster disabled or fully updated on the server and on the clients? One player has bandwidth usage that fluctuates between 2 and 8 KB/s both directions with server having 12 players. Averaging less then 5 kB/s. This was measured using netlimiter locally while on a normal streaming server and PunkBuster enabled.

If I understand netlimiter, it allows you to create rules for various programs running in the network, that doesnt seem to be my issue, the mod is just generating more traffic than it needs to.

We have decreased bandwidth in some areas. In other places it could have been slightly increased. Namely the g_spreeOptions. Overall, I believe it is significantly reduced from the ETPub. Significantly is a relative term because majority of the traffic is not related to mod features unless something really big is made. However, 6 mbit/s second is still surreal for 3 players. Since you are working this issue on so low level (far from the appication layer), you possibly should check QoS and other things that influence the traffic. For example dropping the network packets will cause retransmissions handled by the game. For network engineering, I'm not the person who has knownledge to help. I will fo some comparisons between mods at some point. I tried to test my old Jaymod 2.1.7 on my server but apparently I have allready deleted the bots so I couldn't create same bot conditions.
EDIT:
One more thing I must ensure you have set is the delta compression. Without this, the traffic will increase in huge amounts. The delta compression ensures that only changing information is sent to the client. The delta compression is per client setting so you should probably force the setting.

I have done everything i caan think of that might cause it, nothing changes, Ive taken switches offline, changed cables etc, its actually worse with nitmod, but I cant even get to their forums, much less report on it.

Some server settings that you can adjust for reducing network use in the mod:
g_landmineNotifyType 1 (http://mygamingtalk....dmineNotifyType)
This will send only 1 summary of all the revealed landmines. Option 3 will increase the usage a tiny bit.
g_spreeOptions (http://mygamingtalk....#g_spreeOptions) Disabling all the messages that are not needed will reduce the bandwidth needed.
g_misc 16 (http://mygamingtalk....ver.html#g_misc) Disabling announcing of the killer HP. This has a very minimal effect.

M ost likely will happen again, isnt the first time I've had to do that.
Probably getstatus DDoS issue. I would suggest to try the gaoesa IPTable chain or schnoog script for stopping those attack.
