Generally, no. 500ms should be adequate; pinging more frequently is just going to take up more bandwidth from ping responses (reliable acks).<div><br></div><div>What are you using for comparison as a "valid" ping? The output of your platform's ping command?</div>

<div><br></div>By default, Enet sends (reliable) ping packets every 500ms, if
no other reliable traffic was sent in that interval. If you're sending
reliable packets 30 times per second instead of 2 times, it's possible Enet is
deriving a more accurate average round trip time.

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">First, I'm trying to get the average up and

to be true with the host structure as well.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Second, when I look at the average round trip
time for a peer, this value is only correct if I send out a few reliable
packets. on localhost, for instance, I ran a test where I sent 30 unreliable
packets every second. I poll the network every 5 milliseconds, but got an
average round trip of 44 milliseconds. When I changed it to reliable
packets, however, I got an average of 12 which seems much more reasonable.
Is this intended behavior?</font></div>
