This paper reports on the performance of Distributed Interactive Virtual Environment (DIVE) applications, deployed through Internet. Our goal is to understand the behaviour of a DIVE application, its interaction with competing traffic streams, as well as its network resource requirements for a satisfactory performance. As DIVE is becoming the building block of new applications and services, impacting several existing or new and growing sectors of our economy (email electronic commerce, tele-training, transportation), it is important that we understand the resource requirements of these applications, as well as the "stress" they will impose on the network.
