We present a novel MMOG Hybrid P2P architecture and detail its key components, topology and protocols. We highlight the main components which lie at the heart of the proposed solution, and their roles, and describe the methods of tackling the key scenarios which are faced by the architecture during gameplay. For each role, we discuss the interactions that exist between them and describe the protocols that will be used for inter-role communication to perform the atomic actions necessary for maintaining the consistency and responsiveness of an MMOG such as peer addition, peer removal, group transfer, object change persistency and many more. We conclude the chapter with a comparison of the architecture against several existing P2P MMOG frameworks, discussing the differences which exist between them and how the novel Hybrid-P2P architecture we propose aims to address their flaws.

“…In this paper, we build on our preliminary work [2] and propose a twofold approach to state management in VEs, designed with all the above issues in mind. In our system, the set of interacting peers is based on the concept of group, which defines a set of peers that are interested in the same entity.…”

In P2P-based Virtual Environments (VEs), the efficient distribution and management of avatar and object states remains highly challenging. Objects change their states, but less frequently their positions in the VE. On the other hand, avatars frequently change their positions in the VE. The characteristic differences between objects and avatars generally lead P2P VE systems to focus on, and manage only, one of them. This paper addresses this issue, and proposes a twofold approach to data management in P2P-based VEs. Our system combines a structured P2P overlay used for object state management with a triangulation overlay used for avatar state and group membership management. Our system avoids overloading a given manager when avatar clustering occurs by using a flexible overlay for avatar management, while preventing unnecessary entity data transfer between managers by using a more stable assignment of objects to managers independently from avatars' positions in the VE. The performance and limitations of our system are shown by simulation results.
