design/latency-reduction-2026-07.md T0.1/T0.2/T1.2/T1.3:
- T1.2 rate-capped front-loaded pacing: the paced overflow's budget is now
min(0.9x slack, overflow wire time at ~3x the live encoder bitrate)
(PUNKTFUNK_PACE_FACTOR, 0 = legacy deadline-only spread). A 300 KB-1 MB
frame's tail leaves in ~2-5 ms instead of smearing across ~15 ms at 60 fps;
GameStream schedule byte-identical (pins unchanged).
- T1.3 data-first wire order: packetize emits every block's data shards before
any parity (per-block parity pools keep all blocks' parity alive for the
second pass), so lossless completion stops waiting behind the parity tail.
EOF = last emitted packet; receiver already order-agnostic.
- T0.1 staged 0xCF: HostTiming gains an append-extensible per-stage tail
(queue/encode/pace us; seal+channel-wait derived as residual) - no cap bit
needed, old peers read the 13-byte prefix. Joined client-side into
Stats::host_{queue,encode,xfer,pace}_ms, the OSD detailed tier, and the
probe's report.
- T0.2 true on-glass present timing: VK_KHR_present_id/present_wait enabled
when supported; a PresentTimer waiter thread resolves each present id to
real visibility, replacing the submit-time display stamp (which undercounts
by up to a refresh and hides a silent-FIFO standing queue).
Validated on .21: core 185 + host 185 tests, pf-presenter 19, clippy
-D warnings across all five touched crates; loss-harness recovery curve
unchanged; C ABI harness round-trips.

punktfunk — probe (reference client)
punktfunk-probe is the headless reference client for the punktfunk/1 protocol — a
command-line tool for testing, latency measurement, and validating host behavior. It's not a
streaming app you'd watch on; it connects, exercises a plane, and reports numbers. If you want to
actually stream, use the Linux, Windows,
Apple, or Android clients.
Because it links the same punktfunk-core as every other client, it's also the canonical
example of driving the protocol end to end: QUIC control plane, UDP data plane, and the side planes
(input, audio, rumble) over QUIC datagrams.
What it does
- Receives a real stream, writes a playable elementary stream (
.h265/.h264/.av1— the extension tracks the negotiated codec; the probe advertises all three and the host picks), and reports per-frame capture→received latency percentiles (the host stamps each frame with its capture clock). - Verification mode against a synthetic host — byte-checks deterministic test frames.
- Exercises every plane with scripted test traffic:
--input-test(mouse/keyboard),--mic-test(a 440 Hz Opus tone up to the host mic),--touch-test(a synthetic finger),--rich-input-test(DualSense touchpad + motion, logging the HID-output feedback that comes back). - Trust —
--pin <64-hex>pins the host fingerprint;--pair <PIN>runs the SPAKE2 pairing ceremony and prints the verified fingerprint to pin from then on. Without a pin it trusts on first use. - Discovery —
--discover [secs]browses the LAN for_punktfunk._udphosts and prints each (name, addr:port, pairing requirement, cert fingerprint), then exits. - Negotiation knobs —
--mode WxHxFPS,--remode(mid-stream mode change),--bitrate,--codec auto|h264|hevc|av1(preference; the host resolves),--audio-channels(stereo / 5.1 / 7.1),--compositor,--gamepad,--launch,--speed-test. Env:PUNKTFUNK_CLIENT_10BIT=1/PUNKTFUNK_CLIENT_444=1advertise the 10-bit / 4:4:4 client caps (for testing a host'sPUNKTFUNK_10BIT/PUNKTFUNK_444).
Usage
# stream 720p120 from a host, save the video, and print latency percentiles:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --mode 1280x720x120 --connect HOST:PORT --out /tmp/a.h265
# list hosts on the LAN:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --discover
# pair with a host that requires it (read the PIN off the host), then stream:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --connect HOST:PORT --pair 1234
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --connect HOST:PORT --pin <64-hex> --input-test
