Traditional client-server online games do not scale well in terms of the number of players they can support. Most of this is due to the quadratic growth of bandwidth requirements as the number of players increases, and the limitations on processing power of any single machine.

Massively multiplayer online role playing games feature huge maps that can be partitioned into smaller components called zones to achieve scalability. In peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, those zones can be assigned to peers who are willing to take up the role of zone servers. A seamless map requires inter-zone communications to allow interactions between players across zone boundaries. In assigning zones...
This paper presents an algorithm for creating and maintaining a dynamic localized peer-to-peer overlay network with its main application to massively multiplayer games. In these games, players reside in a large game world with many thousands of players but each player has typically a limited vision range. In our solution, players join the network as peers and mainly connect to neighbor peers that...
