If we take 50 ms as the threshold, ethernet will be more than OK, but
wireless will be a problem. Pinging wired hosts on my home network, I
get round trip times of less than 1 ms, even with large packets.
However, my wireless hosts go as high as 100 ms -- and it's
inconsistent, so even an adaptive approach wouldn't work. Keeping
consistently tight sync over wireless may not be a solvable problem
without adding a lot of complexity.
