Abstract

A federated peer-to-peer game is one in which many small areas of interest within a game each supported using a peer-to-peer model are "knitted" together to form a game capable of supporting a very large number of players. Our work has involved determining whether such an architecture is a feasible alternative to the more common central server architecture for supporting large multiplayer network games.
