Networking and Online Games: Understanding and Engineering Multiplayer Internet Games

Description

The computer game industry is clearly growing in the direction of

multiplayer, online games. Understanding the demands of games on IP

(Internet Protocol) networks is essential for ISP (Internet Service

Provider) engineers to develop appropriate IP services. Correspondingly,

knowledge of the underlying network's capabilities is vital for game

Networking and Online Games concisely draws together and illustrates the

overlapping and interacting technical concerns of these sectors. The

text explains the principles behind modern multiplayer communication

systems and the techniques underlying contemporary networked games. The

traffic patterns that modern games impose on networks, and how network

performance and service level limitations impact on game designers and

player experiences, are covered in-depth, giving the reader the

knowledge necessary to develop better gaming products and network

services. Examples of real-world multiplayer online games illustrate the

Networking and Online Games:



- Provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge guide to the development and

- Contrasts the considerations of ISPs (e.g. predicting traffic loads)

with those of game developers (e.g. sources of lag/jitter), clarifying

- Explains how different technologies such as cable, ADSL (Asymmetric

Digital Subscriber Line) and wireless, etc., affect online game-play

experience, and how different game styles impose varying traffic

- Discusses future directions brought by emerging technologies such as

UMTS (Universal Mobile Telephone Service), GPRS (General Packet Radio

Service), Wireless LANs, IP service Quality, and NAPT/NAT (Network

- Illustrates the concepts using high-level examples of existing

multiplayer online games (such as Quake III Arena, Wolfenstein Enemy



Networking and Online Games will be an invaluable resource for games

developers, engineers and technicians at Internet Service Providers, as

well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Electrical

Engineering, Computer Science and Multimedia Engineering.
