You hit the nail on the head with your 'Additional blasphemous opinion sure to cause butthurt and sniveling'. I too am a witness of the exact same thing weekly by the same people you mentioned. It made me chuckle knowing I'm not the only one that has to deal with the same people.

The defaults for TF2 are not 66 packets per second. The netgraph shows that your client is expecting about 20 packets per second in, and it's getting 17.1 -- this is normal. It also says that you are supposed to be sending 30 packets per second, and you are sending 30.8 -- this is normal. The netgraph picture looks pretty normal/healthy to me. Those strange spikes are spikes of activity/events, which is normal and healthy. You will see those during certain events, like players dying, spawning, things exploding etc. The upper graph area shows activity and the basic size of the event data that you are getting. The most common "bad" thing you might see in the upper graph area is gaps, which would be reflected by choke or loss in the upper of the two lower green lines. The more activity and data received by your client, the larger the upper graph area will be. Your graph seems to indicate that there wasn't much going on in the local area. If you had a duplex problem you would be seeing loss towards either the client or server. It would probably be noticeable. It's not a bad idea to check though. I've never had the problem myself, but I've read about others having a similar issue since the RDTSC_FREQUENCY test was introduced. Try what Ross said. Additional blasphemous opinion sure to cause butthurt and sniveling: If you are not a network engineer, don't blame the network. Us network engineers call this "Waaa the network" because people (sysadmins, managers, webmasters, DBAs) come to our desks at least once a week going "WAAAAAAAAAAA!!! THe network is broke!!!". 95% of the time, they end up proving that they don't even know how to do their own job, nevermind how to do mine. People usually just blame the network because it's something they don't understand, thus feel like they have no control over it. =) Ronny Schedel wrote: > The server sends you 17 updates per second, it should send you 66.67. > Check with ethtool if the network interface is running in full duplex > mode.
