He should just analyze his darn network traffic to see if there is an attack
taking place at all, then try to filter the packets.
If that doesnt work then neither wont anything from Valve's side, on which I
wouldnt count anyway given the daily crashes on my servers which they are
unwilling to fix. At best they are only going to break more parts of srcds
in their miserable attempts at fixing things.
But lets face it, you just cannot run a service smoothly with an ongoing
attack.
You have to fight the cause and not the symptoms.

Well if it stays in that mode until restarting, then it IS a denial of
service attack.

for everyone it now, so it seems, just stops responding the the ping
(still
can be queried using status). That's great in that is doesn't kill a
game
however one side effect is that, when the server goes into this 'mode',
if
someone should have a network problem and disconnect for any reason, they
cannot rejoin the server, in fact no one can join the server until it's
been
restarted.
