A Performance Metric for Message Forwarding Schemes of Massively Multiplayer Peer-to-Peer Based Networked Virtual Environments

چکیده
This paper introduces a performance metric for use in characterizing message forwarding schemes of Massively Multiplayer Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based Networked Virtual Environments (NVE). Message forwarding, or routing, is the process by which peers send messages throughout an overlay. Different P2P NVE designs result in different message forwarding schemes; therefore, a metric is needed to evaluate the impact of a design on message forwarding performance. The metric presented in this paper was developed in the context of a project to determine the best Login Forwarding scheme for a Voronoi-based P2P overlay. The primary contribution of this paper is the performance metric, with a secondary contribution being the characterization of several Login Forwarding schemes.

Networked Virtual Environments (NVEs) which are based on Peer-to-Peer technology aim to provide large-scale virtual worlds without bottlenecks coming from centralized instances. Current approaches focus on massively multiplayer online games, but little work has been done on designing NVEs that enable trading goods and services for real money. In this article, the specific threats on such networ...
متن کاملA Full Awareness Method for Peer-to-Peer Distributed Virtual Environments
Resumen— In recent years, large scale distributed virtual environments (DVEs) have become a major trend in distributed applications. Since architectures based on networked servers seems to be not scalable enough to support massively multiplayer applications, peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures have been proposed for these systems. However, the main challenge of P2P architectures is the awareness p...
