ettv_b6 causing MAJOR lags on broadcasts

This is for my linux recorder/replayer - maybe chosen can provide data for the linux master this happened on

(Yes, you might claim these values are not the ones you proposed, but i dont get any packetloss or dropped packets, so hey )

I'm having these same problems with my windoze 2003 server running b6 and connecting to a b6 master.-=[VP]+arni+=- wrote:ok bani we seem to have localised the problem more:
Matchserver and ettv server were on the same network segment ...
Matchserver b4 & ETTV server b6 - Works perfectly
Matchserver b6 & ETTV server b6 - Causing these strange lags with frames with 50 or 00 at the end get dropped ...

Please excuse the large bitmap files, but you can see the lag spikes on the client and the *00, *50 on the server. If someone thinks it would be useful I could do a sniffer trace over the network to see how the packets look over the network!?
bani, zynx: There must be something you changed from b4 to b5/6/7/8 because this problem still persists.
b4 matchserver on b4 broadcast: works perfectly
b4 matchserver on b6 broadcast: works perfectly
b4 matchserver on b7 broadcast: works perfectly
b4 matchserver on b8 broadcast: works perfectly
b6 matchserver on any broadcast: bad lags
b7 matchserver on any broadcast: bad lags
b8 matchserver on any broadcast: bad lags
I've tried it all - mtu, tos, netburst but nothing helps - as soon as more than ~11 people are on the server and the match begins (sometimes even before) matchservers starting from b6 (b5 wasnt tested) cause lags that make ettv no fun at all.
Simplest solution for now:
for all gamestv.org broadcasts we ask admins to install ettv b4 on their matchservers - with this version there were never any problems on broadcasts. Finally this bug is known to almost all ettv matchserver admins and almost all ettv enabled servers (at least in europe) run ettv b4.
If you dont know what it is - well we cant change that but sticking with b4 until a solution is found seems to be the best solution as it works together with all broadcaster versions from b4 to b8.
