  8. Multiplayer Framework Multiplayer Framework: 2PC Events • Every event must be acknowledged. • Events will be resent, if remote peers did not acknowledge in time. • Two cases: • success: All peers responded with an ACK in time. • timeout: At least one peer did not respond in time. No consensus reached! • An event will be published only once on the remote peer. • Slow compared to ‚normal‘ events.
