Logicam QuickCam Express Web Camera packet and traffic characteristics

This preliminary investigation of Logitech QuickCam Web Camera network traffic aims to report upon the inter-packet arrival times and packet size distributions of one and two way data rates. Traffic characteristics of web cameras are interesting to compare to previously collected data on Half-Life and Quake3 network games in identifying how such applications utilise network resources. The results of this investigation will form the basis for further research into the effect of jitter and latency on video interactions over the web
