Thanks for clarifying, but is this latency a confirmed issue on real hardware? I guess voting for twice as average will work, but still wondering wouldn't it be more appropriate to handle it in the interconnect platform driver instead? Also why is the other client not voting, can we fix it? Thanks, Georgi
