Summary	0002015: Netstats for connection data
Description	Other games and ports both have net statistics that the user can enable to see how their connection is to the server. This is useful in diagnosing if your connection to the server is faulty/laggy/etc. A simple GUI with some statistics could be rendered. There are two options I can think of: 1) Purely clientside, relying on information you get. 2) Client/Server information, where we send (every 3-5 seconds) a SVC2_NETSTATS packet with some information about the connection to the server. Since the server will be ordering our gametics and isn't on the unreliable buffer for ticcmd's and stuff, it'd be a lot easier to see when packets don't arrive or are dropped. You can probably do this with number one, but it's a lot nicer to have the server tell you if you completely dropped a packet with movement information when you're trying to shoot. You can't really check this on the client's side.
