Lag Explanation (in simple terms)

Lag is a term used often. It relates to slow internet speed, sometimes due to a server problem, but more commonly due to the connection between server and client.

A lagger, is someone who uses a slow 56 kbit/s modem to connect to the internet, then joins a multiplayer game (such as SFO) and who has a high ping time. In synchronous games, where all clients must know the exact game state, a single "lagger" will slow down the game for everyone, since the server has to wait for the client to get every communication packet.

What is Ping?

A protocol that sends a message to another computer and waits for acknowledgment, often used to check if another computer on a network is reachable.

That pretty much sums up Lag and in terms we all can understand.[/quote]
