Splitting Overlay Network for Peer-to-Peer-based Massively Multiplayer Online Games

چکیده
Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) gradually become one of the most popular internet applications. Traditional client-server architecture is widely used in MMOGs’ deployment, but its scalability and maintenance are limited mostly by servers. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture, which attempts to make use of computer resources from the computers in the network, is considered to be a candidate infrastructure for MMOGs. In this paper, we investigate some related work and propose an algorithm to split overlay network for P2P-based MMOGs. We show the benefit of splitting the overlay network in reducing lookup latency of game objects through experiments and analytical analysis.

In this theses we present the design and implementation of three different network services for massively multiplayer online games. The first service is an approach for an integrated voice communication. The design is based on a hybrid architecture using a server-based signaling and peer-to-peer data transmission. This technique allows to relate speech processing to game events throuhgt the ser...

Peer-to-peer overlay networks are distributed systems, without any hierarchical organization or centralized control. Peers form self-organizing overlay networks that are on top of the Internet. Both parts of this thesis deal with peer-to-peer overlay networks, the first part with unstructured ones used to build a large scale Networked Virtual Environment. The second part gives insights on how t...

متن کاملThe Design of Synchronization Mechanisms for Peer-to-Peer Massively Multiplayer Games
Massively multiplayer online games (MMG) are natural applications for peer-to-peer overlays (P2P). However, the absence of synchronization among the peers significantly limits games’ functionality and quality of service. Synchronization in P2P overlays faces problems including scalability, heterogeneous network latency and bandwidth, and non-collaborative participants. We believe these problems...
