Bigfoot Networks, Inc. has introduced its Lag and Latency Reduction technology, developed specifically to fight lag in online video games. In addition, the company also announced that it is the lead sponsor for the EndLagNow.org community Web site which launched this week. The site provides a forum and community where gamers, developers and hardware manufacturers can collaborate on solutions to reduce the effects of lag.
LLR Technology is a hardware chipset which includes a Gaming Network Processor specifically designed to accelerate video games. LLR works by getting data to video games faster, more reliably, and with less system resources. Gamers who buy products designed with LLR can benefit from less lag because the technology reduces ping, and reduces the effects of Internet problems such as packet loss.
Since LLR Technology is built on a customized Gaming Network Processor, it reduces the load on the primary CPU, meaning the potential for more frames-per-second in online video games. LLR Technology will be available for sale in select Network Interface Cards later this year.
