Abstract

Today, gaming has become an everyday addiction for kids, teens, and adults. From casual gamers to hard core gamers, game developers need to provide a balanced service to accommodate the latency and packet losses. Our project will explore how modern multiplayer games handle a variety of network issues and how a player's choice in link type can affect their gameplay.
