I know that this thread is a week old, but for people having similar problems:

If you're running Linux then there's pretty much nothing you can do. I was recently having this problem until I switched to Windows. Here's a message from my host (Nuclear Fallout).

We have heard multiple complaints about problems with Steam games on Linux disconnecting clients and having strange delays every few minutes. From our analysis and reports of others on the Linux Half-life mailing list, this appears to be an internal problem with Steam that Valve will need to fix, likely with one of their authentication servers. If you would like for us to move your server to a Windows machine temporarily, please contact us.

Well, thanks for the feedback, bluechester. The thread is a week old but the issue has not been resolved so far. It's all on hold cause our host is migrating to a, suposely, better structure with better machines and connection.

So until the dust is settled again and the host finish migrating, there's little i can progress. But our host runs Windows 2008, as far as i know. You can see it's some sort of Windows by the first screenshot i've shown of the processes.

This very small video shows precisely the problem we're having every 10 seconds or so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArWe_ODu2-Y.

Wasn't this discussed on HLDS Lin saying net_splitpacket_maxrate and net_splitrate were set way too low on SRCDS (Back in 08/09)?

I could be completely wrong, but increase those values ( net_splitpacket_maxrate significantly ) and see if that changes anything.

I've set net_splitpacket_maxrate to match my server rate, 35000, and net_splitrate to 10 and the problem still occours. :\

Any new thoughts?
