Hi
Let me know how much port uplink speed is enough for a dedicated server that is going to get approximate 100 connections at the one time?

The uplink speed means the connection between the server and router.
100 Mbps connection speed is better.

Actually it depends on your approach of use your server,100 mbps is good.

The maximum data that may be transported to and from your server in a second, measured in Gigabits per second, is known as port speed (Gbps).

The physical connection between the server and the Internet is the Uplink port. A network's ports allow it to interact with other networks. A router's uplink port is used to expand the network. Routers can utilize these uplink ports to connect to other routers, switches, and hubs to expand the network's maximum number of wired devices. With the development of Wi-Fi, the uplink port has become less important. However, if the network has more connected devices than a single router can manage, it can still be beneficial. Switching between Ethernet and uplink capabilities on a router port is possible.
An uplink port is used to connect two pieces of networking hardware (as opposed to a server or client computer). 10 Mbps is roughly ten times slower than 100 Mbps. Megabits Per Second (Mbps) means that a Megabyte is transmitted every eight seconds.
The uplink port speed for dedicated servers is most likely the connection speed between the server and the router to the backbone. As a result, a 100Mbps link can transport data at ten times the pace of a 10Mbps link. 1000Mbps can be used if you're providing a lot of huge files. This may be the ideal option for dedicated servers that host high-traffic websites and apps.
