The impact of wireless LAN security on performance of different Windows operating systems

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of various encryption techniques

The performance of IPv4 and IPv6 using UDP on IEEE 802.11n WLANs with WPA2 security

“…The connection between the access point and the client was wireless. The network setup was consistent with similar research shown in the past including the previous work done on 802.11g [4]. The distance between the access point and the workstations was well within two meters in-order to maintain the optimum signal strength.…”

“…(d) Beacon Interval -This function indicates the variable times in which clients meet the access point, this includes send and receive packets, and synchronism [4,5]. This setting was best left at the default interval of 100ms.…”

“…In 2008, S.S. Kolahi et al [4] The organization of this paper is as follows. In the next section the network setup is discussed.…”

Network Performance Evaluation Based on Three Processes

“…For their experiments, they used iperf. A similar work is offered in [9], showing an investigation of the impact of various encryption techniques (WEP-64, WEP-128, and WPA) on performance of wireless LANs for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, once again using TCP and UDP as transport protocols. In this work, netperf was used as benchmarking tool.…”

“…An anomaly is detected when some mobile hosts use a lower bitrate than others, degrading the performance of all hosts. The anomaly is analyzed theoretically, by means of simulations, and in testbeds with several performance measurements conducted with netperf 8 , tcpperf 9 , and udpperf 10 . A comparative study of the impact of wireless encryption methods over different operating systems is presented in [8].…”
