Hi all, I agree with Ruud :-) I changed the subject because another question came to my mind (and I dont want to interfere with Jay's topic). How do you guys know when the ping is "stable" ?
At connection the ping starts with a default value and then converge to the right value. Do you know some tricks to obtain the more accurate ping possible in a given time ? I'd like one peer to be able to map all ping values in a mesh network and use those values as soon as possible. So maybe I could set up a mechanism where everyone is sending its ping values with other peers when he knows those values are stable. Did anyone already implement something like this ? Thanks by advance for your help, best regards, Julien On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:37 AM, Ruud van Gaal <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Isn't the ping time more important?
