Optimize, optimize, optimize!
While coherence is designed to be optimized by default, each project requires unique refinements. coherence uses its own bitstream-based network protocol that comes with built-in data compression and quantization. In addition to these, Areas of Interest, variable sample rates and Levels of Detail give you an unprecedented additional level of control over bandwidth usage.

Flexible authority models
In coherence, authority can be transferred freely and instantly between game clients and dedicated servers using the API. The ability to choose, or even combine, authority models opens up new gameplay possibilities.
