That's great and all, and rather informative, but I'm afraid you're on a
tangent. The question is this: what kind of timebase is the client
rendering on? Does it try to be exactly synchronized with the server,
regardless of latency, or does it just monotonically increase its
current time as it receives packets? Again, two scenarios:
If the former is true, then for a client and server of any
arbitrary latency, curtime is exactly synchronized.
If the latter is true, then for a client and server of X seconds
round-trip latency, curtime on the client (when rendering) is
X/2 seconds behind curtime on the server.
Which one?
