so what exactly was fixed?
Lags from hubs?
Lags from b5+ servers (packet disorder)

Lags to players caused by over-zealous rate limiting, which could happen in some cases (timing related)

As gameserver it works smooth but the ping calculation still seems borked.
Tested it with this beta on 3.2.5 & 3.2.6. I have a ping of 0 on both so I assume it's the b10 binary's fault.
See screenie (3.2.6) & random demo (3.2.6).

Yes, pings show for players (esp with high maxpackets) can be impossibly low. It's not clear whether this causes any real problem.

so this means that all the known problems that apear to be caused by european networks with many alternative routes are still there and b4 -> b7 is still the best for us?

it's not multiple paths that causes the reordering. it's the way some routers handle packet queueing on their links. some routers will send small packets before large ones, even if it's out of order.
the way around this is to increase ettv_mtu, which will prevent the routers from reordering packets. |

Is there any recommendation on what to set ettv_mtu to in case of such lags?

8000 or 16000 are reasonable values. just increase it until your lags go away. |

OK thanks. I test-ran b10 tonight on the EC Final. 100 users, almost 0 lags. Host was b4 with 20 ettv's connected but since it's b4 it prolly didn't use its full potential.
I pm'ed you and zinx the download loc for the demo's & the logs.

ettv_netblast is pretty much irrelevant if your ettv_mtu is large enough -- all the packets get sent out at once anyway. what a large ettv_mtu does is try to prevent packet reordering.
if you don't have reordering problems in your network links, then ettv_netblast 1 with ettv_mtu 1400 is the best. |
