You would need to implement a FIFO for each player which would delay the packets by the required amount of time. Furthermore, you'd need to change the function that uses the select() syscall in the case of the dedicated server. If you don't you'll get a granularity of sv_fps which is 20 per default which means you can only regulate the pings in multiples of 50ms. But yes, it definitely is possible. -- Thilo Schulz
