This gives the host a clear edge over others and it is where lag switching becomes the scourge of humanity! Each player in the lobby will send their location and actions to the host and the host will send back info about other players. This is where a player in the lobby will be selected as the host and all other players in the lobby will treat this player like it were a dedicated server. The cheaper alternative to hosting game lobbies is a P2P system. Since this comes with an increased cost for the game publisher/developer, it is not one we get to see very often, unfortunately. A dedicated server that hosts the game is ideal and creates a level playing ground for all players as everyone has to communicate with the same server, who is not a player in the game lobby. When playing a game online, there is always going to be a central host. A lag switch is just a way to control those hiccups and make them happen on demand and in a controlled way. There are plenty of regular network-related hiccups that can cause someone to lag. It is important to note that not everyone who lags in an online lobby is cheating or using a lag switch. Faster ping, means less lag and a better game lobby for everyone. Ping describes the speed at which your system is able to communicate with the server. When it comes to connection performance, you will often hear the word ping or latency be used. It can be caused by a connection with slow speeds or simply due to disruption in your network that causes the connection to drop for a second or so at a time. To put it simply, lag is network delay or disruption. Lag is not exclusive to lag switches, it is a very common annoyance to people who take part in online gaming.
