 This would just allow to send sequence events without blowing network
all the time

The idea is about using a message system for regenerating data
on client instead of directly streaming data, that way it reduces network bandwidth needs,
but require a faster cpu. this also certainly need to use NTP (a time server)
to sync everything.

 You might also be interested at looking into netpd code.
