How Gaming Servers Work
  • The following is a basic idea of how information
    is sent from your computer to the server as well
    as other computers on the network
  • When a person is playing a game online, whats a
    little more important is not the speed but rather
    the amount of hops, traceroutes, that the data
    packets from the computer have to bounce through
    (routers/switches) to get to its destination.

How Gaming Servers Work
  • The moment When you input information from your
    computer it bounces.
  • Here is a technical example
  • Tracing route to 209.179.21.10 over a maximum of
    30 hops

How Gaming Servers Work
  • The route that the data packet takes would be
    from a house in Southern Idaho to several places
    across the country until it reaches the game
    server in Pasadena.

How Gaming Servers Work
The data packet is then sent to the server, via
traceroutes. The server then receives the
information and sends another data packet known
as a reply packet which confirms the packet has
been received.

How Gaming Servers Work
While at the same time, the server calculates
your position in 3D space, the direction of the
projectile, and takes the position of the enemy
in 3D space and his movement speed and direction.
It will then calculate whether or not you
successfully hit your target.
The server decides that you successfully hit your
target. It then sends data packets (hit points
lost, armor, etc.) to both you and the enemy
telling you that the enemy has been hit.
