Is a latency of 94 - 109 high or low....if its high how do I lower it via the client I don't have control over the server at this point in time.

    If you're talking milliseconds, 109 isn't bad at all.

    Truth is, there's little you can do to control transmission latency. If the pipes between the client and the server are slow, there's not much you can do about it other than reducing the amount of data you need to transfer (reducing stream quality, dropping video frames when publishing, etc). Even with that, you'll undoubtedly have clients who always experience high latency (could be distance between client and server, could be a crappy ISP, could be a crappy wireless network at the client's location).
