Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates connectivity within a peer-to-peer networking environment. A client can transmit a request to connect with a host for peer-to-peer networking. A server can generate a list that includes at least one host that matches the request from the client. A predictor engine can reduce the list by at least one matched host based upon a predictor, wherein the predictor is at least one of an Internet Protocol history predictor, a prefix history predictor, or a geography predictor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for substantially contemporaneously presenting a distributed simulation at multiple computing devices. A first computing device controls an object in the simulation. A second computing device generates a visual representation of the object associated with a visual status. The second computing device generates a predicted status and receives an update including new status from the first computing device. A portion of the predicted status is set equal to a portion of the new status, and a discrepancy between the predicted and visual statuses is determined. When the discrepancy is greater than a first threshold, at least one velocity of the predicted status may be modified. When the discrepancy is greater than a second threshold, the visual status is modified based at least in part on the predicted status. A new visual representation of the object is rendered based at least in part on the visual status, and displayed.
