This paper explores and quantifies the impact of WPA2 security protocol on network performance of operating systems in IEEE 802.11n wireless networks. Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions on a wireless network infrastructure. Obtained data analysis throughput in different security scenarios. This paper analyzed the UDP transport flows generated with different packet sizes on IPv4 and IPv6 64-bit operating systems, Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu 12. The measurement results show that IPv4 systems achieves greater throughput values than IPv6 systems for the same size of UDP packets. The results also show a decrease in throughput value when WPA2 security protocol is used in IEEE 802.11n wireless networks. © 2012 IEEE.
