Providing QoS for Networked Peers in Distributed Haptic Virtual Environments

Table 1

Different traffic types parameters [2, 3, 27, 28].

Traffic	Characteristics	QoS requirements
Haptic	Transmission rate of 1000 packet/sec	Delay <∼50 ms
	Constant packet rate	Throughput ∼500 kbps–1 Mbps
	Sensitive to jitter and delay	Jitter <∼2 ms
		Packet loss <∼10%
Voice	Alternating talk spurts	Delay <∼150 ms
		Throughput ∼22 kbps–200 kbps
	Silence interval	Jitter <∼30 ms
	Talk-spurts produce constant packet	Packet loss <∼1%
Video	Highly bursty traffic	Delay <∼400 ms
	Long-range dependencies	Throughput ∼2.5 Mbps–5 Mbps
		Jitter <∼30 ms
		Packet loss <∼1%
Data	Poisson type	Zero or near-zero packet loss
	Long-range dependencies	Delay may be important
