“…Particular interest resides also on the reduction of the high throughput dependence, primarily by tasking the client with more than just simple video decoding, e.g., moving parts of the game logic or rendering process back to the client. Examples of these approaches can be found in [235]- [238]. Although, none of these approaches has been realized in a practical system yet, as they can impose drastic overhead or interfere with game design and development decisions.…”

Online video games and cloud gaming are rapidly growing in pervasiveness. Their resource demands can put significant stress on the global communication infrastructure. And network conditions are amongst the chief factors that influence one's enjoyment while playing games. This makes it imperative for video games to be considered for network dimensioning, server placement or protocol development. For that reason, in this work we provide an introduction to the technical aspects of video games in general and of their network aspects in particular. This understanding forms the basis for a rich taxonomy of factors that influence and provide context to a video game's Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The taxonomy covers influence factors from all aspects involved in a video game, from the subjective player and game influence factors to the system and networking influence factors. Finally, this work gives an overview of conducted and ongoing research as well as future research opportunities while taking into account lessons learned from past approaches.

“…In traditional Cloud Gaming (CG) [1], rendering is performed at the server side while in graphics streaming-based CG [2,3] all the frames are rendered at client side. As a compromise between these two methods, hybrid graphics/video streaming CG [4,5] has been proposed in which there is a potential for some frames to be rendered at client side. The latter two CG methods require to estimate the rendering time of each frame to make sure that the client device can handle the workload of the game for every frame that needs to be rendered at client side.…”
