Design and evaluation of MiMaze a multi-player game on the Internet
Laurent Gautier, Christophe Diot · 2002
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of MiMaze, a distributed multiplayer game on the Internet. The major contribution of this work is to have designed and implemented a completely distributed communication architecture based on IP multicast. MiMaze uses multicast communication system based on RTP/UDP/IP, and distributed synchronization mechanisms to guarantee the consistency of the game, regardless of network delay. This paper provides evaluation results on the Mbone.
