Background • Networked Virtual Environment (NVE) • Nodes or Avatars • Coordinates • Area of Interest (AOI) • Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) • World of Warcraft • Second life Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
Scalability • We would like to have high scalability to support massive users in NVE. • System scalability • NVE’s ability to handle a growing number of total users in the system • AOI scalability • NVE’s ability to handle a growing number of users within a particular AOI Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
System scalability • Server-based architecture • Client-Server / Server-Cluster • Problems: • Limited resources • All loads are centered on the server • Server-based architecture has low system scalability. • Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture • Advantages: • Distributing loads to all users • Users consume and provide resources • P2P architecture has high system scalabilitysince a user focuses on AOI neighbors.

AOI scalability • How come if there are a large number of nodes in AOI?. P2P-based architecture Server-based architecture Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
Goal • Bandwidth-Efficient AOI-Cast with • high system scalability and • high AOI scalability for P2P NVEs Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
Directly sending Forwarding AOI-Cast • A node has to send message to all nodes within its AOI. • AOI-Cast is a scoped multicast Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
VON – directly sending scheme • Direct connection • High consistency • Low latency • Too many connections • Peak bandwidth consumption exceeds the limitation Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
VON – Forwarding model • Only connect with enclosing neighbors • Pro: • Few connections • Aggregation • Compression • Con: • Redundant messages Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
APOLO – forwarding scheme • Each node connects to closest neighbors in four quadrants (4 out-direction links) • Message transmission along the in-direction link • No redundant message (spanning tree) • Inefficient long (more-hop) message transmission path Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
Comparison • We focus on reducing the bandwidth consumption, so we design our schemes by forwarding AOI-cast. Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab

VoroCast & FiboCast • We proposed two forwarding AOI-cast schemes to reduce the bandwidth consumption • VoroCast • No redundant message • Low latency • FiboCast • An extension of VoroCast • Adjusting the message forwarding frequency by hop-distance dynamically Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
VoroCast • VoroCast divides the AOI neighbors by Voronoi diagram. • Each node has a unique ID and exchanges neighbor list with all neighbors periodically to maintain two-hop-neighbor information. Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab

Characteristics • Less bandwidth consumption • Aggregation • Compression • Non-redundancy • Each node has unique parent • Low latency • Without restricting the message forwarding direction (less hops than APOLO) Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
FiboCast • Users inNVEs may pay more attention to activities that are moreobvious in the vicinity. • We can adaptively adjustthe transmission frequency so that neighbors with more hopcounts away receive messages less frequently. Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
FiboCast • Two variables in a message: • current hop count (cpc): increased each hop • maximal hop count (mcp): set by a Fibonacci sequence with the last being infinite in a round-robin manner • The message is dropped when cpc==mcp • E.G.: For a Fibonacci sequence <0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,>, the maximal hop counts would be 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, , 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, , 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, etc. Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab

Performance metrics • Bandwidth consumption • The major metric to measure the AOI scalability • Neighborship consistency • The degree of the knowledge about the AOI neighbors • Drift distance • The difference between the virtual position and real position of a node Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
Simulation environment • 1 sec = 10 steps • Map = 1000 x 1000 (unit2) • Nodes = 100 ~ 1000 (in increments of 100 nodes ) • AOI radius = 200 units • Steps = 1000 steps • Move speed = 5 units / step by random waypoint pattern • Data is compressed by zlib • The initial values of Fibonacci number are • F1 = 0;F2 = 1 Adaptive Computing and Networking Laboratory Lab
