Is sever choke cause by high CPU load or is it a networking issue?

I've only noticed lag and choke on my SlayersJB server, which can have up to 44 players on it.
Sometimes it will have a lot of players and it will randomly choke and lag at certain times, other times it will run completely smoothly.

I wonder if it's a ddos attack or just CPU load, the CPU averages 20-35%, never seen it higher than 39%

edit: I spoke to my host and they said

Choke is cause by the server having more information to send your client than it is allowed to, so some of that information gets lost. CPU usage is not usually a factor.

does that mean I can change the rates or cvars for upload/download?

Yes you can use rates to limit client's rates in your server.cfg so they won't get more bandwidth than the server can handle.

PHP Code:

// Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

sv_minrate 13000

// Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

sv_maxrate 80000

// Minimum updates per second that the server will allow

sv_minupdaterate 33

// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow

sv_maxupdaterate 67

sv_mincmdrate 33

sv_maxcmdrate 67

If players get choke:
- They rate is too low or some reason not suck all packet to itself.

You should raise min rate value so they can't use too low rate value.
Players default rate is 80000

But over 30 players in cs:go is too much anyway. That is not Battlefield game you know ?

my rates already were:

sv_maxrate 0
sv_minrate 128000

what should I change this too?

If the server has to much information to send, then why not drop the server tickrate?! 128 tick and for 40 players... that has to be stressing cpu/network!

its 64, 128 for 48 players would be insane, its just jailbreak after all

could it be this tickrate problem OS Windows ?

Is it zombie server ? jail...

Could you hit in your own game console +graph and take a screenshot when lag happens or loss ?

Try set server tickrate 102.4 and restrict player updaterate example to 64
Some reason sv_maxcmdrate and sv_maxupdaterate are hidden cvars and follows server tickrate, use sm_cvar command to change those
