[Elecraft] How reliable an internet connection is needed for A K3 remote to work well?

[Barry]

A while back we tried Remoterig with a Kenwood radio and the CW generated was
poor on the other end.  This was presumably from dropped packets and or
latency issues (Comcast on one end and a terrestrial microwave connection on
the other end).  Some dits/dahs were lost and others were prolonged, due to
the lost stop signal.  My understanding of the remoterig protocol for CW is
it's not very robust, with no error correction or ACKing.

We got around the CW problem by using a VNC and the CW is generated at the
host end within the VNC window, using N1MM, directly keying the radio.

If we were to use a K3 and K3/remote for the radio, would there be potential
radio control issues due to the flaky internet connection, or is there
redundancy and/or error correction built into the Elecraft remote protocol?
