ABSTRACT
This paper presents the network bandwidth utilization results of a hybrid peer-to-peer massively multiplayer framework. Previous work in this area has focused on model proposals and simulation based results. The work in this paper is novel in that it also describes a real-world implementation and presents results from actual network traces. The implementation demonstrates the potential for the model and the results show the network bandwidth utilization is well within the current capabilities of residential broadband.

An approach to achieve scalability through a structured peer-to-peer network for massively multiplayer online role playing games
Scalability is a critical issue for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG). To address the scalability drawbacks of current central server model, we present a scenario to support MMORPG through Pastry, a structured peer-to-peer ...
Application-Layer Traffic Analysis of a Peer-to-Peer System
Characterizing traffic behavior helps to optimize the network architecture for improved performance. Using a modified LimeWire servent (for both the server and client) and a variance-time plot for traffic characterization, the authors analyze the ...
A comparative analysis of web and peer-to-peer traffic
WWW '08: Proceedings of the 17th international conference on World Wide WebPeer-to-Peer (P2P) applications continue to grow in popularity, and have reportedly overtaken Web applications as the single largest contributor to Internet traffic. Using traces collected from a large edge network, we conduct an extensive analysis of ...
