Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) recently
\nemerged as a popular class of applications with millions
\nof users. To offer acceptable gaming experience, such
\napplications need to render the virtual world surrounding
\nthe player with a very low latency. However, current state-of-
\nthe-art MMOGs based on peer-to-peer overlays fail to
\nsatisfy these requirements. This happens because avatar
\nmobility implies many data exchanges through the overlay.
\nAs state-of-the-art overlays do not anticipate this mobility,
\nthe needed data is not delivered on time, which leads
\nto transient failures at the application level. To solve this
\nproblem, we propose Blue Banana, a mechanism that models
\nand predicts avatar movement, allowing the overlay to
\nadapt itself by anticipation to the MMOG needs. Our evaluation
\nis based on large-scale traces derived from Second
\nlife. It shows that our anticipation mechanism decreases by
\n20% the number of transient failures with only a network
\noverhead of 2%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
