Abstract

The spread of Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) which is the multiplayer playing game in virtual space via the Internet is the one of major topic in today's Internet. A typical architecture of MMOG is based on a client-server (C/S) model. Because of the traffic that concentrates at the server, the response time between the server and clients is being increased. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose a novel method of propagating information of clients using peer-to-peer (P2P) multicast. In the proposed method, the clients can send their information without broadcasting to each other.
