Game overlay networks, game onion networks, game VPNs, they’re all words for the same thing. Like mudfish http://mudfish.net

For people playing across the globe, you connect to their servers, and they give you a better global transit to the other side of the planet. For better latency for games.

Do people have recommendations for a game performance network they use? They’ve had good experiences with?

I’ve been playing with mud fish, and it’s okay, I was just hoping people had some other recommendations.

    They can be a benefit if you could benefit from multi-hop re-routing.

    i.e. your playing in PI and you have a non-congested connection to hong kong, and from there you connect to LA, to make sure you use the efficient links without congestion.

    If your playing with <150ms RTT to servers, then game networks wont help.

    Sometimes comcast has bad routes and forcing a destination to go via a different route can be beneficial.
