With the current boost to allow 64 player servers, the locked 80000 rate
doesn't seem to be enough. We are experiencing up to 20-30% choke with
our server at 64 active players.
We are using on the server side:
sv_maxrate 0
sv_minrate 128000
On my client(where I saw up to 20-30% choke):
rate 128000
This was on a 64 tick server. Here are some screenshots with 50-55
people alive and playing.

Also, servers seem to be failing to respond to respond to queries used
by gametracker when going above 62 players. Player lists also fail to
update in HLSW when this happens.

Thanks for the feedback. I now understand what happened:
·When net_splitpacket_maxrate was removed there was a fear that this
rate was now stuck at its old default of 15,000. It is not, it is
currently stuck at 80,000
·Also, the new rate of 80,000 is a bit lower than the 128,000 that
some server operators would set it to.
It sounds like the new behavior (despite being slightly lower than the
old peak) is okay and we’ll be careful about propagating the change to
other games. Let me know if my assumptions are wrong.

The current default is perfectly acceptable, and
net_splitpacket_maxrate is no longer needed in 99% of cases for CS:GO.
We use it for TF2 and CS:S, and have been for years.
While it is fine for CS:GO, I hope it doesn't get trickled down in its
current state to CS:S without more testing.

Thanks Jesse, and many thanks also to Bruce, this is the most open
dialogue I've seen while lurking this mailing list.
The picture Jesse linked to is a perfect example of what I'd
typically see in net_graph under high load (lots of players/action
etc), even though the hardware (CPU, RAM, network) load of the
server is normal the clients still receive high choke.

Like was mentioned earlier, many of us don't understand how or

servers.
Understanding the history of net_splitpacket_maxrate is important:

Tony Paloma's post pretty much guaranteed that most administrators
would be playing with this feature. But unlike many of the other
"turbo button" type network configuration parameters, this one
made a demonstrably positive difference in game performance under
common conditions.
The effect of this command on a 32-player TF2 server could be
dramatically positive. Without it, the server would artificially
choke back traffic to the detriment of the player experience while
the network and CPU resources inexplicably sat idle. Any scenario
where a large amount of data was being sent to clients could
trigger this artificial limit.

The new default is great, but this is one change that would have
been good to communicate given it's high usage in the non-Valve
server hosting community.
Bruce, thank you very much for communicating with us regarding
this issue.
