For a system with 20 Server (each per host). For each Host it should be possilbe to send to the others simultaneously. So in the worst case I have 19*20 active channels. 
When I only want to send voice I have a data rate for one channel about 64kb; for 19*20channels=380 channels; if I send each 3 ms a packet the data rate will go up to 92,1 Mbit/s (include the Ehternet-, IP-,UDP-, RTP- Header and 5 per cent RTCP- Traffic).
I only need a estimated value.

Is there an other possibility to optimize the kernel for pulse audio? Which is the audio driver with the lowest latency for PA (alsa?)?

I mean the third row (Default Sample Type) at the PA Manager GUI; first tab (Server Information).
