And about the MTR, I thought I've done that already with the PingPlotter graph I sent you guys.
It shows nothing wrong but it only queries every second. I'm not sure how may packets are sent each second by SRCDS. Could the connection be dropping packets in between the queries of the MTR test? I believe if that was the case, the MTR would show something, even a slight loss. _pilger On 7 April 2014 09:26, pilger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys, thanks for the replies. > > > - The RAM seems all right when I look at it with htop; > - We tried CentOS but the network was behaving poorly with it so we > switched to Debian x64 and it became a lot better; > - net_splitpacket_maxrate was set to 50000 while the rates were from > 30000 to 60000.
