Communication. Timing & packet loss.
A measurement is useful only if it arrives in time. Turn up delay or packet loss and watch the control computer’s view of the car fall behind.
Start the network to inspect packets.
What you’re seeing.
My work: socket-based CAN over TCP/IP communication across six nodes and HC-12 telemetry. The six signal names here are an illustrative allocation, not a recovered E16 network database.
This experiment: a seeded, discrete-event network with timestamps, sequence numbers, configurable latency, jitter and loss. It illustrates freshness, not CAN electrical arbitration, bus load or TCP retransmission. The packet-loss setting represents end-to-end missing updates; it is not a physical-layer error model.
Watch the distinction: receive rate and data freshness are different. A network can deliver every packet and still give the controller old information.
