“…A client/server solution called the WTFast Gamers Private Network (GPN R) was 3 of 19 created to enhance network performance for online games that use centralised game servers. A GPN R improves connections between the client's computer and the gaming network by lowering network latency, spikes, and jitter [12]. Since the reliability of the game's connection is a typical worry among gamers who play online, the much-increased connection consistency of WTFast's GPN R service is one of its primary features.…”

“…This is achieved by controlling the data path from the client to the game server. The authors in [12] used data from tens of thousands of GPN R and non-GPN R (normal internet) connections to build a statistical model of spike predictability, frequency, and severity. The goal was to identify the types of conditions and improvements that may be identified utilising a GPN R. The researchers presented a statistically solid assessment of the effectiveness of WTFast's GPN R service, along with a comparison of latency, spikes, and jitter across GPN R vs. non-GPN R lines.…”

“…Based on the lowest latency and greatest stability, WTFast selects the most optimal route. Based on the Literature [12], WTFast achieves this by using Machine Learning technology to automatically find the best connection and routing path from the source to the game server. This has greatly improved the game efficiency with the need for the gamer to technically understand or know which path should be taken.…”

In the fast-paced internet world that we live in today, internet technologies and tools that enable us to connect online are rapidly changing and improving. To adapt to the changing environment, many game developers are changing their business models to adjust to this online environment by developing games that are centred around online gaming. As such, the internet demands of consumers such as gamers are increasing because of the need for quality internet connection for optimal gameplay. There are too many factors that can affect online gameplay. Moreover, not all gamers are equipped with the network knowledge and skills to diagnose and troubleshoot any internet issues that may arise during their gameplay session. The main contribution of this research was to gather insights from Malaysian broadband internet consumers, mainly from gamers and general users regarding their opinions of their ISP service experience in gaming, general use and service quality. A 1-click solution is presented as a smart autonomous network monitoring tool that can autonomously monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot network problems with minimal input from the user. This research was conducted using a mixed-mode research methodology where the participants were asked to fill up a questionnaire regarding the user experience of their Internet Service Provider (ISP), and their perception of the 1 click-automated networking tool for their personal use. It is shown that there is a market demand for a 1 click-automated networking tool as gamers and general users both agree that such a tool would be beneficial to them by improving the internet quality of a network.

“…In many applications where such a network setting is common, low latency is desirable-frequently, reducing latency is the reason the internal network is built, so the routing can be optimized to reduce delay (e.g. Riot Games' network [19] or WTFast network [20]), rather than the number of hops, which is usually desired by regular Internet Service Providers.…”

Adaptive relaying for streaming erasure codes in a three node relay network

This paper investigates adaptive streaming codes over a three-node relayed network. In this setting, a source node transmits a sequence of message packets to a destination through a relay. The sourceto-relay and relay-to-destination links are unreliable and introduce at most N 1 and N 2 packet erasures, respectively. The destination node must recover each message packet within a strict delay constraint T . The paper presents achievable streaming codes for all feasible parameters {N 1 , N 2 , T } that exploit the fact that the relay naturally observes the erasure pattern occurring in the link from source to relay, thus it can adapt its relaying strategy based on these observations. In a recent work, Fong et al. provide streaming codes featuring channel-state-independent relaying strategies. The codes proposed in this paper achieve rates higher than the ones proposed by Fong et al. whenever N 2 > N 1 , and achieve the same rate when N 2 = N 1 . The paper also presents an upper bound on the achievable rate that takes into account erasures in both links in order to bound the rate in the second link. The upper bound is shown to be tighter than a trivial bound that considers only the erasures in the second link.

“…Students enjoyed projects within capstone project-courses [17], [21], [22], [23] and several projects resulted in student research papers [24], [25], [26], [27]. Starting from 2016 we also accepted freshmen students to the parallel programming and automatic code generation small applied research projects [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33]. We found that such projects, additionally to a small stipend for the student research work creates a strong motivation in courses starting from the first year.…”

In this paper, we discuss the educational value of a few mid-size and one large applied research projects at the Computer Science Department of Okanagan College (OC) and at the Universities of Paris East Créteil (LACL) and Orléans (LIFO) in France.We found, that some freshmen students are very active and eager to be involved in applied research projects starting from the second semester. They are actively participating in programming competitions and want to be involved in applied research projects to compete with sophomore and older students. Our observation is based on five NSERC Engage College and Applied Research and Development (ARD) grants, and several small applied projects.Student involvement in applied research is a key motivation and success factor in our activities, but we are also involved in transferring some results of applied research, namely programming techniques, into the parallel programming courses for beginners at the senior-and first-year MSc levels. We illustrate this feedback process with programming notions for beginners, practical tools to acquire them and the overall success/failure of students as experienced for more than 10 years in our French University courses.
