Why would it though? Isn't it increasing the distance to reach the server?

[xlogic]

No, it's make it as if you live in Los Angeles, which is where Nexon HQ is.

But I thought teleportation on that scale isn't developed that well yet D:!

I don't understand exactly what this does either, but eh, my ping is alright so not really necessary.

[Russia.rkly]

I thought it was just routing through less hops.

[cloudkiller2006]

it creates a tunnel to it, best shown in pictures:
ASCII art 1: normal connection

o------>O
^
|
o<-----[]


ASCII art 2: connection with WTFast

O
^
|
[]

o are connection points
O is what you want to reach
[] is where you start


as you can see, it makes it go straight to a certain point, instead of through whatever's available. this is called a tunnel.

But how does a program on the user's PC manipulate the physical connection?

This. How does using proxy close to the server magically going to give me west cost ping if im physically thousands of miles away from the server?

imagine trying to cross the ocean. its faster to just take a tunnel then to drive around it, no?

it makes your computer connect in a straight line, thus speeding up your connection a lot more. it doesn't PHYSICALLY move your computer but still gives a similar effect because you don't have to make hundreds of detours.

on a sidenote: it appears that WTFast shares info with 3rd parties, so i don't suggest using it. unverified information tho.

[LtGeneral Andrew]

This may cause some problems with ISP traffic shaping too.
This may not improve speed either.
Even though the distance is cut, the routing of the data may not be sent through the proper lines as to gain maximum speed.
Honestly, manual rerouting would be much better.

But doesn't every node themselves determine which node to send data to next? I thought the end-user doesn't have any control over the path the data takes - the nodes themselves determine the route depending on traffic conditions

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and we will assume WTFast actually does reduce latency.

It would be faster if a faster protocol than TCP was used. TCP is very wasteful, although it is rather reliable once the stream starts. if WTFast connects your machine to it's server with UDP then translates and forwards the data to Nexon's servers using TCP it has an incredible potential to decrease latency.

I think it has potential. But then again, that's just a theory. I actually have no idea what WTFast does and clearly neither does the person who started this thread.

lol... teleport my magic **** yo... quantum entanglement WTF...... FAST.

Also, it clearly has nothing to do with picking the correct route. You're retarded-wrong. That's what IP is for.

z.z It makes you faster.... But it gets detected as a hacking tool

How come I'm not detected. :I
