%X The paper is evaluating the overheads for different security technologies used in wireless networks in order to correctly identify the right solution for practical implementations. Since in IEEE 802.11 communications the native protocol overheads are more extended compared with other technologies, adding new overheads could negatively impact on the overall throughput. For this reason the usual WEP and WPA methods were analyzed in order to calculate the real throughput degradation. Previous works on this problem provide heterogeneous information and few usable data for network engineers.
