Online Interactive Game Traffic: A Survey & Performance Analysis on 802.11 Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
With rapid growth of notebooks and mobile devices, the wireless local area network (WLAN) is expected to carry more vast varieties of traffic. While traffic such as file transferring, voice and video are carefully studied, online interactive game traffic has not yet received much attention with respect to its growing share in today’s Internet traffic. Some papers had analyzed and proposed traffic models to various types of online interactive games. This project presents a survey on 3 types of online game traffic, and utilizes one of the proposed models to investigate the WLAN performance with the selected type of game traffic load. Specifically, the performance of an IEEE 802.11 network with a first person shooting game, Counter Strike, traffic load is studied.

FPS Game Performance in Wi-Fi Networks
Multi-player online games (MOGs) have become increasingly popular on today’s Internet. Meanwhile, the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) wireless networks have been widely used. We study how well an underlying 802.11g network supports a first-person-shooter (FPS) game, often considered the most demanding MOG in terms of network performance. We measure the latency and loss ratio performance experienced by the ...
متن کاملOptimisation of capacity in various 802.11 gaming scenarios
Abstract: As IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs are widely deployed and the popularity of multiplayer real-time gaming continues to increase, games are increasingly played over 802.11 wireless networks. In this paper, we consider the issue of how games traffic is likely to interact with wireless networks and give a framework to study this kind of application. Using Quake 4 as an example, we produce a mu...
متن کاملA Game Theory based Contention Window Adjustment for IEEE 802.11 under Heavy Load
The 802.11 families are considered as the most applicable standards for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) where nodes make access to the wireless media using random access techniques. In such networks, each node adjusts its contention window to the minimum size irrespective to the number of competing nodes. So in the case of large number of nodes, the network performance is reduced because o...
متن کاملNetwork Traffic from Anarchy Online: Analysis, Statistics and Applications
We present a dataset – a real-world, server-side packet trace [8] – from Anarchy Online [9]. Anarchy Online is a science fiction-themed massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG), published and developed by Funcom [7]. We present statistics from the network traffic and show that it is a representative dataset for similar games. From the dataset, one can extract several key character...
متن کاملIEEE 802.11 user fingerprinting and its applications for intrusion detection
Easy associations with wireless access points (APs) give users temporal and quick access to the Internet. It needs only a few seconds to take their machines to hotspots and do a little configuration in order to have Internet access. However, this portability becomes a double-edged sword for ignorant network users. Network protocol analyzers are typically developed for network performance analys...
