I think that because the touch is telling the server when it is ready to recieve more packets, variation in packet timing is not mainly under the control of the server
Variation in network switching latency and jitter is a second-order effect in a switched network, and will be fairly constant assuming that the link to the server has adequite bandwidth. IMO variation in the transmission rate as a result of server-side processing is also likely to be a second order effect concerning packet timing as this is controlled by the Touch. Phil, From the testing I have done, higher CPU utilisation is the result of streaming WAVs, and this is primarily the overhead of processing the additional packets. I deduce from this that the NIC has no TCP offload functions, and the CPU controls all networking functions. I suggest that reducing the data volume reduces the CPU load, so probably best to stay with FLAC.
