Abstract :
The traffic generated by a class of graphics-intensive X Window System applications is characterized, and the effects the hardware processing platform has on the characteristics of the generated traffic are studied. The effect of running graphics-intensive applications on network performance is examined, and the network capabilities and limitations are determined. The experimental results show that the communications requirements of graphics-intensive applications are very high. Moreover, these requirements may depend on the processing power of the hardware platform that runs these applications
