Use Case and Business Models

CNG Highlights
The CNG project combines the use of InGame Graphical Insertion on
users’ local devices and the use of P2P traffic for UGC Video/Graphical
applications to facilitate and support community activities on MMOGs.
This innovative approach linked the highly interactive environment of
MMOGs (operating on their existing servers) with new CNG graphical
and community functionality.
The MMOG and Community activities are merged by the graphical
processing on end-users’ devices.
