Hello.

I'm not sure how packet loss works in multisync. Does Multisync make sure all packets arrive, or will some be dropped? And if some are dropped how can I make sure important packets arrive?

Thanks.

If it's UDP, then there is no check for packet loss I believe.
Using TCP ensures there is no packet loss, but with a possibly reduced data rate.

do you know if Multisync works in such a way, or how to make sure it does or does not? I did not notice it for myself, but I'm kind of an idiot.

so then it would be safe for me to assume important data will arrive? Thanks.
