Abstract

See full text

A gaming system using wide area communications networks is disclosed. Slow, lossy wide area networks may include satellite and tower wireless paths along with the traditional Ethernet and other land line paths. The system replaces a traditional XML/TCP/IP protocol with a more efficient UDP protocol that speeds up the “round trip” time associated with gaming devices. Efficiency is also enhanced by reducing message content and the number of messages transferred and implementing the application code in binary which is compressed for additional time and size efficiencies. These time efficiencies allow hosts to handle tens of thousands of clients thereby reducing overall system costs. In addition, third party applications are accommodated.
