Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of the variability of the load imposed by users of a mobile gaming platform. We measure the communication between the sample mobile gaming application and characterize the types of requests that are being transmitted to the cloud service. We characterize the variability of the load in time, finding weekly and daily patterns of load and differences between working days and weekends of approximately 20 %. We analyze the correlations between the processing of the different types of requests, and find that the processing time correlates with the total load observed on server, but is only partially related to the type of request being processed.
