A Dynamic Networking Substrate for Distributed MMOGs
IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing, 2015 This paper proposes a distributed and dynamic networking architecture for massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs). The MMOG networks deal with the challenge of update message exchange among a large number of players that are subject to both mobility (constant change of virtual location) and churn (joining and leaving the physical network at will ...
