Abstract

One of the most profitable and emerging high-tech markets is the one that involves games for PC and consoles; a market that is growing year by year and that is rapidly evolving. Several big game corporations are implementing now the remote video streaming through the domestic network between two devices; a feature that regards not only PCs but also consoles. This paper investigates one of the main services of this type, the Steam In-Home Streaming, to analyze the generated network traffic when considering different types of game. Gathered data can help to understand whether this type of service can actually be supported by today's regular Internet connections.
