“…It is found that performance decreases in congested networks due to more packet loss. An experimental study based upon various parameters such as transmit power, and window size is presented in [8]. The results indicate that strong security mechanisms negatively affect the performance with transmission control protocol and user datagram protocol traffic streams.…”

“…Whereas in the congested networks the throughput measured for P 1 is 6.5 Mbps, very low as compared to its traffic flow value, which is 12 Mbps. Throughput degradation in the TCP congested network is 1.9 % higher than the TCP uncongested network averaging over the security protocols P [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . From the obtained numerical values, it was established that the throughput in the congested network is less in comparison to the uncongested network and this is due to the congestion caused in the network by high traffic generation rates.…”

“…It has observed that for the uncongested network, the maximum throughput obtained for P 1 is 6.7 Mbps, which is close to its data flow value. Thereafter, the throughput decreases gradually depending upon the complexity of the implemented security protocols P [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Whereas in the congested networks the throughput measured for P 1 is 6.5 Mbps, very low as compared to its traffic flow value, which is 12 Mbps.…”

There has been an extensive and widespread deployment of wireless local area networks (WLANs) for information access. The transmission, being of a broadcast nature, is vulnerable to security threats and hence, the aspect of security provisioning in these networks has assumed an important dimension. The security of the transmitted data over a wireless channel aims at protecting the data from unauthorized access. The objective is achieved by providing advanced security mechanisms. Implementing strong security mechanisms however, affects the throughput performance and increases the complexity of the communication system. In this paper, we investigate the security performance of a WLAN based on IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards on an experimental testbed in congested and uncongested networks in a single and multi-client environment. Experimental results are obtained for a layered security model encompassing nine security protocols in terms of throughput, response time, and encryption overhead. The performance impact of transmission control protocol and user datagram protocol traffic streams on secure wireless networks has also been studied. Through numerical results obtained from the testbed, we have presented quantitative and realistic findings for both security mechanisms as well as network performance. The tradeoff between the strength of the security protocol and the associated performance is analyzed through computer simulation results. The present real time analysis enables the network designers to make intelligent choices about the implementation of security features and the perceived network performance for a given application scenario.
