I'm eavesdropping here :-)
All informations that would make CERTI more efficient
(in the real-time and high performance area) is interesting to me.

Martin could you tell us:

1) Concerning running FlightGear multiplayer on WAN.
    What is the behabior of current mulitplayer protocol of Flight Gear
    compared to multiplayer with CERTI?
    You get no latency vs big latency ?
    CERTI is hogging CPU whereas current FG MP protocol is not?

    Where can I find technical information regarding FG MP current
    protocol (is it TCP/UDP etc.. lossy, lossless etc... does it handle
    heterogeneity, is there broadcast support etc...)

2) What do you think is making FG MP with CERTI so
    "unresponsive"?

I'll be interested in that too.
