1. A method comprising:
providing, by a network system comprising a central device and a plurality of remote devices connected to the central device, a plurality of data objects in the network system, wherein an exchange of each data object of the plurality of data objects in the network system is limited to exchanges between the central device and one of the plurality of remote devices; and implementing, by the network system, a mode of operation for running an online game session in the network system, the implementing comprising:
assigning ownership of each data object of the plurality of data objects to at least one remote device of the plurality of remote devices, the assigning comprising:
giving the at least one remote device control over a data object assigned to the at least one remote device;excluding the central device and at least one other remote device of the plurality of remote devices from control over the data object; andmigrating ownership of the data object from the at least one remote device to the at least one other remote device that was excluded from control over the data object, the migration comprising:
detecting a disconnection of the at least one remote device from the network system;searching the central device for cached information about a current status of the data object, wherein the cached information comprises a copy of the data object which is updated each time the data object passes through the central device;giving the at least one other remote device control over the data object using the cached information about the current status of the data object; andexcluding the central device and the at least one remote device from control over the data object.
