Looks like online gamers are set to benefit with Internap Network Services Corporation rolling out its intelligent routing and IP technology that will be used by GameRail to provide gamers with a superior online experience. It is said that Internap helps aggregate local broadband traffic and activity on to GameRail’s nationwide private network, which in turn connects users directly to game sites. For those who are not in the know, GameRail operates a nationwide private broadband network which was specifically designed for multiplayer gaming online, in which gamers experience superior performance options.

This unique network is dedicated to decreasing latency while improving gameplay via GameRail’s patent pending Partial Bypass Overlay Network (PBON) optimization for Real Time applications. According to the press release, GameRail’s PBON allows users to bypass traditional Internet connections which normally cause a degradation in performance. By integrating Internap’s technology for localized aggregation, GameRail customers will have a competitive advantage for gaming, where both improved network performance and reliability meet.

According to Mark Senda, chief executive officer for GameRail, “When 20 milliseconds is a matter of ‘life and death’– winning and losing – for an online gamer, latency, packet loss and jitter can ruin the playing experience. Internap’s optimized network performance solutions allow us to provide localized ingress and egress connection speeds to three milliseconds, maximizing the flow of real-time Web traffic while optimizing game play.â€� If you’re one of the types who absolutely hate high latency and want the very best in terms of gaming, it sounds as though GameRail cannot do any wrong. Still, having the fastest connection in the world is pretty much useless if you lack the mad skillz required in competitive gaming.
