A Self-similarity Traffic Analysis of an Internet-based Multiplayer Online Game
inc_Mceachen_ECE_2004.pdf (162.9Kb)Abstract
An analysis of traffic generated by the popular Internet-based online
game engine, Unreal Engine, is presented. Network parameters such as
packet length, interarrival time and aggregate data rate are observed for
analyzing aspects of self-similarity. Client-side packet traces are
collected and analyzed for both client and server traffic. Initial
analysis of over three million packets indicates client generated traffic
shows strong long-range dependence of a self-similar nature primarily
due to packet length associated with user actions. On the contrary,
server generated traffic seen at the client, while still exhibiting a heavy
tail, is more short-range dependent in regions where self-similarity is
observed.
