I haven't done the experiment.
If your network is lightly loaded, there shouldn't be much jitter. All bets
are off if your network is overloaded.
I think it depends upon your goal. If your target is a few 10s of ms, I'd
expect them to work. If your target is a few microseconds, I'd expect
problems.
