Centre closure

As part of a broader organisational restructure, data networking research at Swinburne University of Technology has moved from the Centre for Advanced Internet Architecture (CAIA) to the Internet For Things (I4T) Research Lab.

Although CAIA no longer exists, this website reflects CAIA's activities and outputs between March 2002 and February 2017, and is being maintained as a service to the broader data networking research community.

This page is part of the GENIUS project.

Aggregate Flows

The following section discusses aggregate flows to and from the server for the six games played.

Packet Inter-Arrival Time
The following figures show the client to server aggregate flow for all six games. We can see that although the shape of the graphs differ, they are all approximately symmetrical about the 60ms mark.

Figure 25: Game 5 Eight Players in Game Figure 26: Game 6 Nine Players in Game

We can see in Figure 27 that Game 1 server to client aggregate data has peaks at 0ms, 20ms, 60ms, 100ms and 120ms. This again corresponds to the server having only one player attached. As shown in Figure 28, Game 2 also has peaks at 40ms and 80ms as do all other server to client aggregate data graphs.

Packet Length
Figures 29 and 30 show the contrast in the number of peaks occuring in a three player game versus the number of peaks occuring in a nine player game for aggregate client to server data. Generally, as the overall number of players in the game increases, the number of different length packets also increases.

Figure 29: Game 1 Three Players in Game Figure 30: Game 6 Nine Players in Game

As seen in Figures 31, 32 and 33, as the total number of players increases, the number of peaks also increases, as does the spread of the peaks.
