Optimizing Multiplayer 3D Game Synchronization Over the Web

Lightstreamer - 3D World Demo - Three.js Client

1. Packet Data Size

size of data transmitted and received per-second

the number of packet size send within 1 ms

synchronized data etc2

for example :

1. player A position is 3,5,3 (x,y,z) body facing 120 degree clockwise is lighter than

2. player A position is 3,5,3 (x,y,z) body facing 120 degree clockwise, doing backflip at frame 170, and weapon / head facing (2,5,9) (x,y,z quaternion)

3. player A is placed on Position Index 3

   is much lighter than

4. player A is positioned at (30.85483953985 , 75,42839473 , 12.49786598)

2. Synchronization Frequency (Ingress, Egress, and traffic cost)

the frequency of such data synchronization over the network in some span range.

for example :

1. enemy A is moving every second to a new place (update synchronization per n ms)

   is much heavier than

2. enemy as is moving every turn (update synchronization per turn)

3.
