DESCRIPTION:Online multiplayer gaming popularity is growing rapidly. With e
 -sports prize purses reaching into millions there is ever-growing desire t
 o play popular games at a competitive level. This presents new challenges 
 to ISPs who struggle to keep up with growing demands on their network. Net
 work demand can cause latency on the users' connection which results in po
 or game experience and ultimately losing a match. WTFast helps to alleviat
 e the pain for users by offering optimized latency-sensitive routing via t
 heir GPN\, the game player's network.\n\nThe WTFast GPN consists of hundre
 ds of proxy nodes around the world which users connect to using the WTFast
  client. WTFast subscribers' game traffic traverses the GPN and terminates
  near the game servers\, often in the same data centers. WTFast has been w
 orking with the Okanagan College Computer Science department and NSERC to 
 research new ways to further optimize the service. This talk will be benef
 icial to anyone interested in joining the NSERC project team or who is int
 erested in online game networks.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Okanagan College\n\nS
