Understanding what low latency constraints matter in gaming applications

Video gaming has evolved greatly since it was first born in the 1960s and, these days, video games are not about playing alone or even playing along with or against the person physically next to you. These days, gaming involves many players all over the globe, and even the quality and complexity of these games have increased tremendously. It is no surprise that ultra-low latency and high scalability are non-negotiable requirements when it comes to modern gaming applications. With new technologies such as AR and VR, this only further increases the need for ultra-low latency performance. Additionally, with the advent of mobile gaming combined with online gaming, complex gaming applications have been ported to smartphones and need ultra-low latency content delivery systems, multiplayer systems, and super-fast processing speeds.

In the previous section, we discussed low latency real-time video streaming applications...
