Client Prediction

Client prediction is a networked environment concept where if the client program loses contact with a world server for a few hundred milliseconds, the client program predicts the actions of other participants and interactive, dynamic entities extrapolated from previous behaviour. When the next update from the server arrives, actual entity behaviours and actions are substituted over the predicted ones.

If too long a time passes without word from the server, the client usually automatically ?disconnects? and informs the user it is no-longer listening for the server; connection has been lost.
