So earlier today one of my servers was lagging - badly. By time I showed up the lag had cleared. Then again. Then again. Each time for about 5-10 minutes it would lag, and by time I'd shown up, it was gone. Finally, I caught the lag happening directly. No unusual FPS or CPU usage spikes, so i

Makes perfect sense other than the dramatisation. VALVe are completely dropping the ball when it comes to server protection. Fair call that they are primarily game designers, but surely they can spent some manhours at least making their product able to withstand the most basic of DoS and
