-TOS doesn't do anything anymore, not too many routers examine the type of service bit. A pingboost of 2 uses select() based boosting, which on older linux kernels uses the 'jiffies' routine. I wouldn't expect it to be that accurate. > > > > Machine #2 > > Dell Power Edge R300 > > > > > > Dell Intel X5000 Chipset > > > > > > Quadcore Intel Xeon X5470 3.33Ghz 1333Mhz FSB > > > > > > Hynix 2x2GB Dual Rank-RAM > > > > > > 2x Seagate 73GB SAS 15K rpm (Raid-1) > > > > > > Broadcom Netxtreme II > > > > ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip ********** +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 > > +sys_ticrate 1000 -zone 8192 -pingboost 2 -tos > > ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip ********** +map de_aztec +maxplayers 32 > > +sys_ticrate 1000 -zone 8192 -pingboost 2 -tos > > > > Problem #2 > > > > On the same servers as i mentioned above, i have some rate problems too.

Running high slot counts increase the pressure on the scheduler, so you will see a little loss while it's waiting to process interframe data. You should try adjusting the thread priority to SCHED_RR with a thread time of 50 or so. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
