As a server, I'll assume that he has control over every line in the
core.ini with the word "server" in it.. ie "net_mdm_server_send_every =
3". What about the clients? do they work with only the lines that have
"client" in them.. ie "net_mdm_client_send_every = 3".
Or, does the server do everything in it's core file as well as send the
client the info to send it's stuff when the server tells it to?
What I want to know... Who has control over what in the core.ini file?
I checked over the stuffs listed in
[link lost in import: /;There] is some good info there
but it's layed out chaotically as to my question. I'll re-read it all
and try to make sence of it. In the mean time does anyone know who has
cantrol of each line in the core?

Point taken. I plan to redo the pages next month when I am off duty for 4
weeks. And get them up to date with 1.1 as well.
This is the piece concerning your question:
"When connecting via TCP/IP, the values for net_use_mdm_bandwidth_for_tcp_ip
must be the same on the server and the client. If not, a bandwidth mismatch
will be reported when trying to connect.
The client uses its local client_send_every setting to determine the send
frequency of the local car data, the server uses its local server_send_every
setting for the send frequency of the surrounding cars data. The server uses
its local server_send_size setting to determine the size of the packets it
sends to the clients. If a client has a smaller value for server_send_size
in its core.ini, a bandwidth mismatch will be reported when trying to
connect. The client_send paramaters are ignored on the server. "
The last remark may not be true for GPL 1.1. The client_send parameters on
the server may play a role in the reported connection quality.

I am still awaiting the official word on v1.1 of GPL from Randy Cassidy.
However, this is the information he posted in r.a.s. regarding v1.0:
Both :-) The host uses the server_send values to determine how much
and how often it can send data to each client. The host uses the
client_send values to determine how much and how often it should expect
to see data from each client. (Note that the sizes are maximums -
frequently it won't be necessary to send that much data, so smaller
packets will be sent (ever notice that your modem lights glow brighter
while in a race with several cars than when selecting parameters for
the race?))
Similarly, the client uses the client_send values to determine how
much/often it can send to the server, and the server_send values to
determine how much/often it can expect to see from the server.
It's critical that the client_send_size on the client be no greater
than the client_send_size on the host. If this is not the case, the
client may send a packet to the host that is larger than the host
believes is possible, and this will cause the host to disconnect the
client. Similarly, it is critical that the server_send_size on the
host be no larger than the server_send_size on the client. Otherwise
the client may see a packet from the server that is larger than it
believes is possible, and disconnect from the server.
It's best to have the send_every's match, but it's not critical. A GPL
host will disconnect a client if it receives less than 50% of the
number of packets it expects to see from that client (that'd be a
pretty crappy connection). But, if the client had a client_send_every
of 3, and the server had a client_send_every of 2, then with a perfect
connection the server would only be seeing 67% of what it was expecting
to see from the client. This doesn't leave much margin for packet loss
before the server dumps the client. (This also works in reverse - if a
client isn't getting 50% of the number of packets it expects to see
from the server, it will disconnect from the server).

Thanks :) That answered the question. I'd assume that anything that
says "client" in the core.ini would be controlled by the client. A
suggestion...
List each and every line in the core.ini. Below each line give a
description of what it is, what it's used for, what values are valid,
and what the benefits and downfalls are for changing the values.
Thanks,
Mike barlow
