The WTFast’s Gamers Private Network (GPN ®) Performance Evaluation Results

The WTFast Gamers Private Network (GPN ®) is a client/server solution designed to improve network conditions with online games that utilize centralized game servers. Using a GPN ®, connections between the clients personal computer and game network are improved in terms of reduced network latency, spikes, and jitter.A common concern among players participating in online games is the game’s connection stability. A key aspect of WTFast’s GPN ® service is its greatly improved connection consistency. This is accomplished by routing data from the client to the game server in a more controlled manner.To determine what kind of conditions and improvements can be found using a GPN ®, we gathered data from thousands of GPN ® and non-GPN ® (regular internet) connections to create a statistical model of spike predictability, frequency, and severity using Markov Chains. Paired with a comparison of latency, spikes, and jitter across GPN ® / non-GPN ® lines, we provide a statistically sound report on the efficacy of WTFast’s GPN ® service.
