A series of new Protocol Data Units (PDUs) that send only limited entity-state information over a distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) network is described. These PDUs are tailored specifically to simulations that model numerous entities rather than simulator modeling a single entity. The use of these new PDUs could (under certain circumstances) realize compression factors of 16, 32, or up to 1200 to one in the amount of data that needs to be sent over a DIS network.
