Abstract

U ovom diplomskom radu višekorisnička umrežena videoigra „Wizard wars“, razvijena s pomoću pokretačke platforme za igre Unity, nadograđena je kreiranjem novih animacija te nove čarolije napada. Provedena je analiza mrežnog prometa pri interakciji dvaju korisnika u virtualnoj privatnoj mreži preko Interneta, gdje je mrežni promet zabilježen pomoću analizatora paketa Wireshark. Provedena su tri eksperimenta međusobno različita po mrežnoj konfiguraciji, odnosno, prema žičnom ili bežičnom spajanju korisničkih računala na pripadajuće usmjeritelje. Iz snimljenog prometa izdvojena su međudolazna vremena i duljine paketa protokola Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) za daljnju analizu. Provedena je identifikacija razdiobe slučajne varijable za međudolazna vremena te su slikovito prikazani histogrami izračunatih distribucija i stvarnih podataka. Nad duljinama paketa provedena je usporedba između dobivenih histograma za tri provedena eksperimenta.

Abstract (english)

In this Master's thesis, multiplayer networked videogame „Wizard wars“ based on Unity game engine has been upgraded with new animations and a new magic "attack". An analysis of network traffic was performed after capturing network traffic by using packet analyzer during the interaction of two users connected through a virtual private network across the Internet. Three experiments with different network configurations were performed, with alternating wired and wireless connections between the end-users' computers and their respective routers. Further on, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet interarrival time and the packet length were extracted from the captured traffic. The random variable distribution was identified for the packet interarrival time and histograms were plotted to illustrate the fitted distribution and actual data values. For the packet length, the comparison was made between histograms for all three performed experiments.
