I don't really know how to explain this...
I host a server for someone on a home computer. About 5MB/s download, 700KB/s upload.
The server has 32 slots, and is running ~30 addons. DarkRP turned Clone Wars RP. Usually ~25 people online.
CPU usage never goes above 10%, memory usage never goes above 500MB or so.
Network usage usually hovers around 300KB/s upload, which is well within my range, yet after about an hour, everyone's ping jumps to ~900 and starts to lag about 2 seconds behind. This has happened with anywhere from 10-32 players online.
I constantly moniter server usage when this happens, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. It just happens. No network spikes, no CPU usage spikes, nothing.
We clear decals, props, and ragdolls, and it persists. The only thing that fixes it is a map change or a full restart.
Someone, please help me. I know this post is probably stupid, but I don't know any better.
Server Specs:
Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 3.5GHz
32GB DDR3
256GB SSD
Gigabit Ethernet wired straight to a Netgear WNR3500lv2
During the time this lag happens my internet is completely unusable. I am convinced it's a bottleneck somewhere, but with the low upload usage it just doesn't seem possible that it is the cause.
