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

The IPv4 and IPv6 performance with UDP (User Datagram Protocol) on two client-server wireless 802.11n LANs implementing Windows Vista-Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP-Windows Server 2008 are compared. The impact of wireless security implementation (WPA2 security against no security) in IEEE 802.11n networks for IPv4 and IPv6 is investigated.
