[PD] Netsend Jitter Elimination

[Ivan Franco]

Hi,
if indeed the machines are local and you just want to sync both you 
could try passing messages through osc protocol

also if using netsend/receive UDP is better suited for realtime 
because TCP/IP includes a procedure to make sure the data package has 
arrived it's destination. This slows down the process considerably.
