Abstract

U ovom radu je analiziran prometni tok generiran umreženim igranjem League of Legends i FIFA 18 igara, a za analizu je korišten PRTG (engl. Paessler Router Traffic Grapher) alat. Prometni tokovi su opisani brzinom prijenosa podataka, udjelom transportnih protokola u prenesenom prometu, brzinom prijenosa paketa i prosječnom duljinom paketa, a svi rezultati su prikazani odvojeno za odlazni i dolazni smjer toka podataka. Također je istražena uloga računalnih igara u suvremenom društvu kroz utjecaj na igrače i globalnu ekonomiju te tehnološke karakteristike informacijsko-komunikacijske mreže koja omogućava umreženo igranje. Opisani su uređaji za igranje, vrste igara, demografija igrača, natjecateljska grana umreženog igranja (eSports), komunikacijska mreža i njezini protokoli.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyzes the traffic flow generated by online gaming. Games analyzed are League of Legends and FIFA 18 and the tool used for the analysis is PRTG (Paessler Router Traffic Grapher). Traffic flows are described by the data transfer rate, the transport protocols share in the transmitted trafic, the packet transfer rate and the average packet length. All the results are displayed separately for incoming and outgoing data flows. The role of computer games in contemporary society has also been explored through its influnce on players and the global economy along with technological characteristics of the information and communication network that enables online gaming. The paper also describes gaming devices, game types, player demographics, competitive gaming (eSports) and communication network with its protocols.
