I agree that the old default value of 15,000 was very low. Setting it to 
128,000 would allow split packets to be transmitted much faster.

However when net_splitpacket_maxrate was removed we switched to using the 
global data rate, which defaults to 80,000. So, if you were previously setting 
net_splitpacket_maxrate to 128,000 there should not be a dramatic difference 
now.

The better we understand your current symptoms the better we will be able to 
understand the underlying issue and how best to address it. The change fixed 
some real packet loss problems for Windows servers so simply undoing the change 
is not a good option.

BTW, the lack of mention of this change in the release notes was merely because 
we make too many small changes to list them all and this was assumed to be a 
small change.

Bruce,

The effect that most of us noticed and are now missing is that setting that 
cvar to a higher value eliminated some choke and loss especially on 128tick and 
higher populated server. The difference between the default value and max value 
was very noticeable on a fully populated server.

Honestly, I'm not sure many of us know what the variable actually did behind 
the scenes to help but experimenting with it got us better results.

Historically the separate rate was to avoid packet loss but we increased the 
size of the UDP buffers on Windows to better resolve that problem.

net_splitpacket_maxrate 128000

Has anyone found a alternative cvar, or a workaround to achieve the same effect?
