CGSynth: Cloud Gaming Synthesizer

Cloud gaming’s unique network traffic is challenging to reproduce for research. This demo introduces Cloud Gaming Synthe-sizer (CGSynth), a platform that generates realistic, configurable synthetic cloud gaming (CG) traffic. CGSynth captures real CGpatterns and allows their synthetic reproduction with user-defined flow/packet parameters and deterministic protocol headers. It employs a GRU for accurate, order-preserving timestamp generation and AI-based video interpolation for realistic payloads. Crucially, CGSynth integrates a QoE evaluation module using objective (e.g., SSIM) and subjective metrics (e.g., MOS) to validate synthetic traffic’s video quality and responsiveness against real streams.
