Live Generation & Simulation of First Person Shooter Game Traffic
نویسنده
چکیده
This technical report outlines techniques and theories of generating live and simulating first person shooter game traffic for N specific players. We outline a two approaches. Firstly creating live network traffic using a tool called pktgen. Secondly we outline how to simulate using Omnet Network simulator and Network Simulator with a C library called ‘ArmaPktLen’. All approaches use a combination of Auto Regression Moving Average (ARMA) statistical prediction model and convolution techniques.

متن کاملTowards a General Model of First Person Shooter Game Traffic
Although the past few years have seen significant, empirically-based activity in modelling First Person Shooter (FPS) game traffic, there has been only limited work published that explores the underlying reasons for observed FPS traffic characteristics. As a result the generality and scalability of these empirical models is open to question. In this paper we demonstrate how a useful predictive ...
