Online Gaming Traffic Generator for Reproducing Gamer Behavior

This paper, by Kwangsik Shin and colleagues from ETRI and Inha University, proposes an online gaming traffic generator that reproduces gamer behavior.

• The authors note that interactive game traffic differs from typical internet traffic, as it tends to use small, highly periodic packets.
• L4D's IDTs are mostly under 50 ms, whereas WOW shows many packets with long IDTs, and WOW packets are smaller than L4D packets.
• Generated L4D traffic matched the analytical model, while generated WOW traffic differed greatly from it, which the authors attribute to TCP mechanisms.
