A video game such as a vehicle-based combat game may include multiple types of vehicles, where each type of vehicle may progress through increasing tier levels. Different types of vehicles within the same tier may have different capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. When performing matchmaking for a game session, a matchmaking server may use a battle level table defining permissible tiers of each type of vehicle allowed within a particular battle level, and may also limit the number of a specific type of vehicle allowed in any one game session.

The battle table may provide an advantage to premium vehicles by limiting the tiers of other vehicles against which a similarly tiered premium vehicle may compete. Battle level difficulty may be adjusted by adjusting the ranges of permissible vehicles in each battle level. Online multiplayer video games have become particularly popular due, at least in part, to the ability of players to compete with multiple other human players.

I’m looking into getting a DNS to help with privacy and such, but I play a lot of games online and don’t want to lose any performance there. Does using a DNS affect ping or matchmaking?

Includes audio file requirements. If your organization has groups of people who answer and manage certain types of calls, such as for customer service, an internal help desk, or general telephone support for a department, you can deploy the Response Group application to manage these types of calls. The Response Group application routes and queues incoming calls to designated persons, who are known as agents.

You can increase the use of telephone support services and reduce the overhead of running these services by using response groups. When a caller calls a response group, the call is routed to an agent based on a hunt group or the caller’s answers to interactive voice response IVR questions. The Response Group application uses standard response group routing methods to route the call to the next available agent.

Supported call routing methods include serial, longest-idle, parallel, round robin, and Attendant routing that is, all agents are called at the same time for every incoming call, regardless of their current presence.
