Hi Simon
Instead of "ping", you could use your own "chat-network" to measure the
connection quality within your network:
Define two new "lobby command messages" ping and pong. Send a ping
together with the actual "time" from A to B. B sends the value "time"
back to A (pong). A calclulates the difference between the actual time
and the one received in the message.
Example:
A sends a ping message to B at 1839313
A -> B : PING&1839313
B receives PING&1839313 from A. B sends the message back to A:
B->A : PONG&1839313
A receives the message pong from B at 1839356
and calculates the RTD = 1839356 - 1839313 = 43
Time: Use f.e. QueryPerformanceCounter
Do NOT use GetTickCount - (The resolution of the GetTickCount
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724408%28v=vs.85%29.aspx> function
is limited to the resolution of the system timer, which is typically in
the range of 10 milliseconds to 16 milliseconds.)
Regards
Michael
