Abstract :
Multiplayer gaming, especially online gaming, has become something prominent in today´s age. Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are taking over the computing scene, with most devices being able to run games that are considered to be equivalent to their computer counterparts. Still, despite all the advances, players still experience network latency, thus we will be looking at how Peer to Peer hybrids, may help in reducing the latency effects of having a classical client server network.
