So in small words I want to say something like this: Entity that is in PVS => Can be seen => Data Transfer about that entity Entity that it is not in PVS => Can not be seen => No data transfer => Save bandwidth How does it work? Well let's say that every room of the map is a cube. We find ourselves in a room and that also means that we are in the cube of that room. We can see the entities in the next rooms because the cubes of that room touch with the cube of the room we are in.

And yes the walls should be ignored! Because info about the worldspawn isn't sent to the client!
