major population center it is to be appreciated that servers 113 116 can also be used in providing other types of computer application services such as word processors simulations electronic data processing edp and others referring now to fig2 illustrating as an example a connection diagram between some client computers paradigmatically player computers and some game servers in conformance with the communications network arrangement described in fig1 above however for the sake of simplicity and clarity details related to the connections between the client computers and the internet as well as details related to the connections between the game servers and the internet are omitted as such only the connections between the clients and the servers and between the servers themselves are shown as can be seen in fig2 servers s 1 s 7 and clients p 1 p 3 are connected to each in a relatively unstructured topology as discussed earlier while the connections links between servers are permanent the connections between clients and servers are transitory accordingly the permanent links between the servers s 1 s 7 are pl 1 pl 9 and the transitory links between clients p 1 p 3 and servers s 1 s 7 are tl 1 tl 3 fig2 also demonstrates that due to the nature of the internet while the players may be located close to each other geographically they may be located far apart in terms of internet connections this is so because while the players may be close to each other geographically the players may be connected to different servers that are only indirectly connected to each other hence to communicate to each other the players have to communicate.
