Virtual Reality (VR) technology is a network intensive application, which needs reliable
network performance for smooth and real like simulation. This study concentrates on the direct, simple
and effective utilization of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Ethernet communication for VR system to
investigate the networks that support the virtual environment.
To investigate the varied dependencies between the network parameters, the study performed the fcable
length test, data rate test, packet processing rate PPR test. Researchers strove to identify the various
advantages and disadvantages of UDP Ethernet communication of VR applications from the standpoint of
the performance factors.
Advanced graphical techniques were applied for visual representation of the presented multi-scalar
dependency of network properties and systems performance indices. The study enabled insight into the
relationship between proportions of cable length and data transmission parameters to actual operational
speed or delay or stability of the particular network.
The results may be informative and helpful for not only the people who work in the development of the
VR system but also the network engineers, while UDP Ethernet is raised as a fast and low overhead
communication strategy. In this way, considering the basic ideas of performance properties and
optimizations, researchers can design systems of virtual reality networks that are more vital for a user.
Therefore, it presents practical contributions to the on-going and upcoming advancement of technology
based VR communication support and a deeper comprehension of the network performance enhancement
approaches.
