A LAG is a method of inverse multiplexing over multiple Ethernet links, thereby increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy. It is defined by the IEEE 802.1AX-2008 standard, which states, "Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group, such that a MAC client can treat the Link Aggregation Group as if it were a single link."
Generally a lag below 100 ms (10 hz or fps) is considered to be necessary for playability. The lowest ping physically possible for a connection between opposite points on Earth crossing half of the planet is 133 ms. Other causes of lag result commonly in a lag below a playable 20 ms (50 hz or fps), or in the loss, corruption or jitter of the game.
A link aggregation group (LAG) is the combined collection of physical ports. Other umbrella terms used to describe the concept include trunking , [ 1 ] bundling , [ 2 ] bonding , [ 1 ] channeling [ 3 ] or teaming .
Rubber banding or rubberbanding may refer to: . in online video gaming, rubber banding is the undesirable visual effect of latency, known as lag, in which a moving object appears to leap from one place to another without passing through the intervening space; also called "warping" or "teleporting".
Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.
Some games, in an attempt to increase player immersion and reduce potential screen clutter, have most or all elements disappear when not needed (usually when the status they display is static), a method commonly referred to as a "dynamic HUD". In most cases, the player can display them all by pausing the game or pressing a button.
This lag time has been measured as high as 68 ms, [1] or the equivalent of 3-4 frames on a 60 Hz display. Display lag is not to be confused with pixel response time, which is the amount of time it takes for a pixel to change from one brightness value to another. Currently the majority of manufacturers quote the pixel response time, but neglect ...
The worst-case latency requirement is defined as 2 ms for Class A and 50 ms for Class B, but has been shown to be unreliable. [5] [6] The per-port peer delay provided by gPTP and the network bridge residence delay are added to calculate the accumulated delays and ensure the latency requirement is met. Control traffic has the third-highest ...
