Does the unreliable version of your code converge after a longer period, perhaps? Try running it for a minute or two and compare the results.<div><br></div><div>- Blair<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 4:30 PM, Philip Bennefall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:philip@u7142039.fsdata.se">philip@u7142039.fsdata.se</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div>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

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></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>
