Effect of WPA2 Security on IEEE 802.11n Bandwith and Round Trip Time in Peer-Peer Wireless Local Area Networks

摘要

In this paper 802.11 wireless peer-peer network isevaluated for both IPv4 and IPv6 in Windows 7 and Fedora 12 operating systems. IPv4 has higher throughput than IPv6 for all packet sizes for both Windows 7 and Fedora 12 operating systems. Results further indicate that implementing WPA2wireless security reduces bandwidth and increase delay inwireless networks.
