<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#0000ff">What you need to do in your app is to build some filtering
in the calculated ping time, so that it can't change too quickly. You just
average out and skip seemingly very off values (spikes).</font></span></div>

according to server time, and as clients can also know the ping time (from
asking the server for example) you can relate server time to client time quite
precise. Not even needed that the packet reception time is stable, as long as it
arrives you can relate the packet times back to what it was on the server (every
server-sent packet contains servertime, and you can deduce other times from that
using the averaged out ping time).</font></span></div>

<div></div>I'm pretty sure ping can be effected by other traffic going through
the network and other processes on the boxes so it might not ever be really
stable.<br><br>

all,<br>I agree with Ruud :-)<br><br>I changed the subject because another
