[BC] Starguides: Going Away

[Bernie Courtney]

"could" is the key word in there, depending on network conditions, various backbones and routing paths, there is really no way to precisely, 100% of the time, sync all client sites as you can when you have a known constant like a dedicated transponder on a satellite with X amount of delay end to end.

The other issue would be reliability, IP networks for remotes - sure.  Using public, non QOS enabled networks, for an STL or for live long form program delivery, you'd have to be nuts or just like playing with fire.

Using UDP, the delay could be under a second. Besides, most radio networks run
a minimum 7 second delay (and I know some that run as much as a minute delay),
and compensate by setting their network clocks fast.
