Steve Perlman, founder and CEO of OnLive told PC World the lag factor everyone is worrying about
I wonder if he actually has a pc or a pc game or have read or heard about pc games.
If this CEO had any idea or testing experience he would not sound like the head of BP but would have stated this below.
NOT BP / NOT ONLIVE COMMENTS FOLLOW:
We tested and looked at the lag, packet loss, jitter and DNS issues and did this .... to minimize it as well as routing players via local regional servers access to the cloud for optimal game play.
We will continue to monitor and optimize it on a daily basis.
So many people with great idea's but they have no cooking clue what the heck they are doing like this CEO of Onlive or BP CEO.
ROFL.
Just test your connection "Mr. Onlive CEO" using this link
http/myspeed.visualware.com/index.php select location and VOIP also test IPTV and VIDEO "dvd codec" from drop down menu to get a idea.
Pingtest.net helps as well to get a idea, "nessoft" pingplotter, "gibson research" dnsbench, "google code's" namebench to figure out about DNS servers and optimizing your connection or pay OpenDNS for dedicated load balancing DNS servers to backup your DNS or accelerate yours.
Linux lag compensate method, higher resources used but can then cope better with 400ms to 800ms+ ping and does not help much for packet loss:
(These are sysctl settings)
net.core.rmem_max = 16000000
net.core.wmem_max = 16000000
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = "128000 256000 2048000"
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = "128000 256000 2048000"
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 =1
Why do we as players always have to educate CEO's like this are they too poor or illiterate to hire experienced people or do they only employ "yes men / failure men" ???
