In terms of bandwidth it depends on mission complexity and number of other players present on the server. For a simple mission ( not many Ai units ) and few player DCS can "burns" around 300kbps, it can easily grow up and take 1mbps for a mission almost without AI unit but with many players connected to the server, and you can also go up to 3-5mbps when there are many player and the mission also has lot of AI units. In terms of latency, less is better of course, good value to make it enjoyable I believe it's no more then 60ms. Some server admin put ping limit to 100/150ms to guarantee the best experience for everyone play on their server, people with crazy ping like 300ms or above it's normally seen as "teleporting" aircraft and can also cause downside effects on all other server calculation. Just a note, it's better to check your ping also when your inside the multiplayer server, sometimes the latency reported on server list are not accurate, especially for user with not a "strong" connectivity.
