We're running Ubuntu Server, 2.6.31-22-server (SMP) x86_64kernel, and have seen issues with disconnection pending. It's random and we've tried to compensate with -pingboost. We didn't have this issue before the conversion to orangebox nor did we have problems with tf2 when we were running it. As far as processor goes, the twin dualcore Opty 875 HE's don't even break a sweat with people on the server. My question is this: What fundamential network code changes and requirements for bandwidth have happened with the conversion? We have no 'extra' drivers like a winblows box would, nor do we have extra services like it.
