For a high-level protocol, it's all the same. The fact that a TCP/IP packet is acknowledged matters not at all because the stream data is delivered to the application level at the same time as the acknowledge packet is sent out, and the application can respond at once. Ping times indicate how long it would take to send something to the client and get a reply back, barring time needed to compute the reply. As far as computer go servers matters, I do see that it harms anything to give high-lag participants a chance to compete. Time controls is never going to be fair anyway, unless you allocate time based on CPU power, which I don't see how can work. It's just a way to limit games from lasting too long. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
