Question 1

How Physgun brings your server to the top

Accepted Answer

Anycast and the Garry's Mod server list explained

Anycast is a technology that handles routing in a way where incoming requests can be routed through the nearest location to a client’s incoming connection.

Our network protection provider leverages the mass amount of locations and PoPs (Point of Presence) to cache the Source Engines A2S responce at the edge locations, responding to the serverlists requests at the a location closer to the player.

|| Some hosts can charge up to thousands of dollars for Anycast support on your server. At Physgun we provide Anycast to all our servers for Free!

Physgun's Anycast locations

We make further improvements on this starting at your server, pre generating all A2S requests as they come in so they can be cached quicker by the edge.

The Garry’s Mod server list is sorted by a ranking number (Lower being higher on the list), calculated with the following function from this function in the game’s code. ```javascript function CalculateRank( server ) { var recommended = server.ping;

if ( server.players == 0 ) recommended += 75; // Server is empty
if ( server.players >= server.maxplayers ) recommended += 100; // Server is full, can't join it
if ( server.pass ) recommended += 300; // Password protected, can't join it
if ( server.isAnon ) recommended += 1000; // Anonymous server

// The first few bunches of players reduce the impact of the serve
