Dynamic Hybrid DVE Architecture

A dynamic hybrid DVE architecture is presented in this paper. It's an extension of client-server architecture. It combines the advantages of client-server architecture and peer-to-peer architecture. By utilizing users' hardware resources system can support more users. Compaired with the traditional multi-server architecture it holds lower system cost. Theory analysis and simulation results prove its correctness and validity. The flaws of this architecture are also checked and the settlement is discussed.
