We present a new protocol to transmit time ordered events in real-time over Internet and to operate a correct time rendering on the receiver side. This protocol provides solutions to compensate for the network latency, to optimize the bandwidth use and to take account of the clock drift of the different stations involved in a transmission. It is particularly suitable to transmit musical events such as MIDI events. The implementation is based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) however, the proposed solution is independant of the underlying network layers.
