Theoretical Model:

Now a days, in a world most of the peoples are using internet. The internet networks are mainly classified into two types. One is wired network and another one wireless networks. The wired networks are connected by LAN cable. The Wireless networks are connected by WIFI. In the wireless there no cables are connected with your device. In the wireless networks and security, Theoretical throughput development will be studied. In the theoretical throughput development, Impact of MAC overhead will be described. Impact of security overhead will be studied. Experimental method will be analyzed. In the Experimental method, comparison of wireless networks like 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g will be studied. The design of wired network will be analyzed. The design of wireless network will also be described.

IEEE 802.11(WLAN) contains IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b.High data rates and maximum throughput can be produced by IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ad and IEEE 802.11n with improvements in MAC and physical layers. Reduction of MAC layer overhead can be done by technologies like block acknowledgement and frame aggregation.

Overhead in multiple access system is due to facts like uncoordinated communication of user and performance losses. For classic MAC, comparison can be done by comparing performance of similar system that are coordinated totally. In control systems, the region for capacity in accurate channel has two inputs X2 and X1 is given by (Huang, 2010) (Thalore, Jha and Bhattacharya, 2018),   

The above equation shows the region of capacity for feedback correlated users for a memory less accurate channel the capacity remains constant with feedback. The region for capacity is the sum rate taken over joint distribution of X2 x X1, so that input of the user is correlated arbitrarily (Jayram, and Ashoka, 2014).

The unrelated user has region for capacity which is given by,

• introducing individual restrict rate on R2 and R1.
• Restricting distributions over which the union is computed.
• Finally restricting the sum rate.

In the data networks security for the shared data is most important. The main solution for this is IPsec VPN (Guichard, Pepelnjak and Apcar, 2014). The impact of other traffic is produced by IPsec in the domain of network resource. This can be done by OPNET software. The main OPNET tool sets are process model, package format, simulation window and project window. For displaying and capturing the result simulation window is used. Behavior of network devices can be done by process model. Project window is used to define network topology and link connectivity. Interface for network devices can be done by nodal modal. For organization of collage network diagram is used. For reducing the network traffic the selected organization is used. For the design of whole network start topology is used. At last investigations are made to analyze network performance which are affected by link performance. OPNET can be used to secure traffic flow from distant sites that are connected with the tunnels of IPsec. The important secured technology is IPsec, which provides protected access over internet with the help of coding and authentication (Hong, 2014) (Firewall and VPN Technology, 2017).

Throughput models:

 In internet data are sent in secured manner. In data transmission from starting point to end, the network of intermediate is shared, the access of data flow can be done by unwanted customer. The solution for this problem is provided by VPN (Ring, 2013) (Hong, 2014).

The simulation of two scenarios are shown below, 

In the first simulation server is approached by client from three sites which are connected with the help of DS1 channel through router HQ in network configuration without the help of tunneling the VPN. In second one tunneling of VPN are changed between the router HQ and three sites. The servers DB, HTTP, and FTP server act as client in three sites (Lin and Lu, 2015).

The physical layer is connected the network with the help of LAN. The physical layer protocol for 801.11a is connected only with 802.11a. The 802.11a can't connect with 802.11b and 802.11g. Because the password syntax for 802.11a is numbers only but both the password syntax for 802.11b and 802.11g is mixture of words and numbers. That's why the 802.11a is not physically connected with 802.11b and 802.11g.The physical layer protocol 802.11b can be connected with 802.11b and 802.11g. But the 802.11b can't connect with 802.11a. Because the password syntax is same for both 802.11b and 802.11g. The password syntax is different for 802.11a and 802.11b. So the physical layer is not connected between 802.11a and 802.11b. The communication between 802.11g is connected with 802.11b and 802.11g only. It can't connect with the 802.11a. The reason for 802.11a is not connected with 802.11g is the password syntax. In the 802.11a password is only numbers. For 802.11g the password is mixture of letters and numbers. So that is the reason for 802.11a is not connected with 802.11g. The explained comparison is given in the below figure (Xiao, Shen and Du, 2011) (Gast, 2017).

The standard confirmation for 802.11a is September 99, 802.11b is also September 99 and 802.11g is May 2003. The standard confirmation is also known as publish. The Raw Data Rates for 802.11a and 802.11g is 54Mbps and raw data rate for 802.11b is 11Mbps. The raw data rate is defined as transferring data speed. But the average actual throughput for 802.11a is 4 to 5 Mbps. The average actual throughput for 802.11b is 27 Mbps and 802.11g is 20 to 25 Mbps. The average actual throughput is average internet speed. The frequency for 802.11a is 5 GHz. The frequency of 802.11b is 2.4 GHz. 802.11g frequency is 2.4 GHz. The Available spectrum for 802.11a is 300 MHz 802.11b's available spectrum is 83.5 MHz and the Available spectrum for 802.11g is 83.5 MHz Modulation encoding for 802.11a is OFDM. For 802.11b, DSSS/CCK modulation is used. The modulation encoding for 802.11g is DSSS/PBCC. The encoding is encryption i.e. production for the data or information. The channels/non-overlapping for 802.11a is 12/8. And the channels/non-overlapping for 802.11b is 11/3. 802.11g’s channels/                non-overlapping is 11/3. The channels/overlapping for 802.11b and 802.11g both are same. The above explained comparison datum are explained in below diagram (Ganesh and Pahlavan, 2011) (hanfi , and rai, 2016) (Prasad and Zaheeruddin, 2011)

Impact of MAC layer overhead:

In site survey Wi-Fi signal is covered by Wituner which is done by floor plan. Wituners used to get automated green field and user guided deployment. By launching virtuoso, it makes the user to attach a photo copy to the floor plan. It enable to attach the file format which is in the form PDF or JPEG and it gets XML file that elaborate attenuation and structure values.

Wituners is used to perform deployment of WLAN. The main uses of Wituner is to catch strength of a signal from the Access point. To prove the design optimization and auditing will be done. For creating high capacity signal WLAN is planning (Randhawa and Hardy, 2011) (hanfi , and rai, 2016) (Shinde, 2009).
