Using Wireshark to Monitor Network Packets

Overview: Using Wireshark to monitor network packets to see if we can figure out some subtics.

Testing Different Servers

• Tested three different servers: 64 tick valve official server, 128 tick Community server, and Valve official server and CS2 that uses subtik.

• Filtered out 10 seconds of a long packet capture that was done to the servers.

• Logged the packet numbers, timestamp, time between packets, source, destination, length of the packet, and port stuff.

Results of Testing

Overview: Results of testing the three different servers.

64 Tick Server

• Average millisecond between packets is 15.62 milliseconds.

• 10 seconds captured roughly 64 packets per second.

128 Tick Community Server

• Average millisecond between packets is 7.81 milliseconds.

• 10 seconds captured roughly 128 packets per second.

CS2 Server

• Average millisecond between packets is 7.84 milliseconds.

• 10 seconds captured roughly 128 packets per second.

• Fastest time between packets is 0.015 milliseconds.

Conclusion

Overview: Speculating on the results of the testing.

Conclusion

• Speculating that all this confirms the server's tick rate.

• Speculating that Valve's subtick system is just too good to be true, so they had to optimize it.

• Speculating that important stuff in the game like shooting is sent instantly and the boring stuff like throwing a grenade is back in the bus.

• Speculating that subtick is real and faster than 128 tick overall.
