My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that these cvars control the
behavior of large packets that are fragmented before being sent to the
client. net_splitpacket_maxrate limits the rate these fragmented packets
are sent out and net_splitrate limits how many of these packets are
allowed per client per frame before they start being dropped. Due to the
former it seems recommended to set net_splitpacket_maxrate to whatever
your sv_maxrate setting is, or to a high value if you have sv_maxrate
set to 0 (hence why I set mine to 100000).
I've seen some admins set their net_splitrate to high values like 1024.
I don't know if this has a noticable effect or not.
From what I can tell though servers that don't have these properly set
will see large gaps in the netgraph similar to Peter's first
screenshot. I assume this is because fragmented packets are being dropped.

Do you know what the net_splitpacket_maxrate and net_splitrate does?
