| − | ==Overview==
| + | |
| − | In very simple terms, if one were to ping a network host 2 times and each time it responded in 100 milliseconds, one can say that its jitter is 0 ms. If instead, the 2 ping times were 75 and 100 milliseconds, one could say the jitter is 25 ms. Of course the jitter calculations performed in BZFlag are a little more complex than that, incorporating averaging and smoothing over time.
