=== SendRoutePercent ===
* Min: 300
* Max: 800
Percentage of the ping time that is spent on the ClientToServer portion of the ping. (used in more accurately syncronizing clocks)

=== KickOutDelay ===
* Min: 100
* Max: 2000
Amount of time the server can receive no data from the player before the player is kicked.

=== NoFlagDelay ===
* Min: 100
* Max: 1000
Amount of time before the server can receive no data from the player before it denies them the ability to pick up flags.

=== NoFlagPenalty ===
* Min: 300
* Max: 32000
Amount of time user is penalized when they exceed the NoFlagDelay.

=== SlowPacketKickoutPercent ===
* Min: 0
* Max: 1000
Percentage of C2S slow packets before a player is kicked.

=== SlowPacketTime ===
* Min: 20
* Max: 200
Amount of latency C2S that constitutes a slow packet.

=== SlowPacketSampleSize ===
* Min: 50
* Max: 1000
Number of packets to sample C2S before checking for kickout.

=== ClientSlowPacketKickoutPercent ===
* Min: 0
* Max: 1000
Percentage of S2C slow packets before a player is kicked.

=== ClientSlowPacketTime ===
* Min: 20
* Max: 200
Amount of latency S2C that constitutes a slow packet.

=== ClientSlowPacketSampleSize ===
* Min: 50
* Max: 1000
Number of packets to sample S2C before checking for kickout.

=== MaxLatencyForWeapons ===
* Min: 20
* Max: 200
Maximum C2S latency to allow before server disables weapons.

=== MaxLatencyForPrizes ===
* Min: 50
* Max: 800
Maximum amount of time that can pass before a shared prize packet is ignored.

=== MaxLatencyForKickOut ===
* Min: 40
* Max: 200
Maximum latency that allowed before kickout.

=== LatencyKickOutTime ===
* Min: 300
* Max: 3000
Amount of time that MaxLatencyForKickOut must be bad before the kickout occurs.

=== S2CNoDataKickoutDelay ===
* Min: 100
* Max: 32000
Amount of time a user can receive no data from server before connection is terminated.

=== CutbackWatermark ===
* Min: 500
* Max: 32000
Amount of data the server is allowed to send the user per second before it starts trying to cutback by skipping non-critical packets.

=== C2SNoDataAction ===
0=Use Normal Method (Above settings) 1=Display Sysop Warning, 2=Spec Player, 3=Warning&Spec, 4=Kick, 5=Warning&Kick, 6=Kick&Spec, 7=Warning&Kick&Spec

=== C2SNoDataTime ===
If above setting (C2SNoDataAction) is set, this is the delay (in 1/100 of a second [100 = 1 second, 60000=1 minute]) that a player's ping can be maxed at during a position packet before action takes place

=== NegativeClientSlowPacketTime ===
Packets with future timestamp farther in future than this variable are considered as slow packets (0=disabled). Feature is still experimental.
