Abstract

OpenVPN is an open source Virtual Private Networks product providing cross-platform, secure, highly configurable VPN solutions. Tablet computers seem to be directing many of the emerging trends in the marketing industry at the moment. For this case study, the performance of OpenVPN on Android is measured and analyzed using various configurations parameters including protocol, cipher and compression. The results show that the throughput is mainly impacted by the data compression used, and that the round-trip time is mostly dependent on the transport protocol selected.
