Description
The Internet (the network which connects your computer to mine)
is made up of thousands of interconnected networks. Between your
computer and the computer which houses the MUD, there may be up
to 30 gateways and links connecting them over serial lines,
high-speed modems, leased lines, satellite uplinks, etc. If one
of these gateways or lines crashes, is suddenly overloaded, or
gets routing confused, you may notice a long time of lag time
between your imput and the MUD's reception of that input.
Computers which are nearer to the computer running the MUD are
less susceptible to netlag. Another source of lag is if the
computer which hosts the MUD is overloaded. When netlag happens,
it is best to just patiently wait for it to pass.
