osc has quite a good system for timing I think.
It uses the NTP time server, to create time stamps according to the
osc time format (64 bit, first 32bit is seconds since 1970, second 32
is divisions of a second).
You then simply schedule the packets ahead in time, so the maximum
lag time is accounted for. This way you get very exact timing.
