Abstract: Peer-to-peer overlays for Networked Virtual Environments have recently gained much research interest, resulting in a variety of different approaches for spatial information dissemination. Although designed for the same purpose, the evaluation methodologies used by particular authors differ widely. This makes any comparison of existing systems difficult, if not impossible. To overcome this problem we present a benchmarking methodology which allows for a fair comparison of those systems. We, therefore, define a common set of workloads and metrics. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by testing four typical systems for spatial information dissemination and discovering their specific performance profiles.
