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.
