Abstract: Networking has been an integral part in the computers, ever since its evolution. Over the years, networking features of the operating systems varied so much, and then, evolved to the form it is now. Networking features vary as the platform changes, and the various operating systems will have different networking features. The topic Windows Vs Linux has been debated for many years. Here, the aim is to bring out the weaknesses and focus on the strengths of the two operating systems Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu 12.10 in terms of its networking capabilities and security. The networking performance of the operating systems is compared on the basis of certain parameters. The comparison results were obtained with D-ITG on two systems connected with Ethernet cable. Performance of UDP protocol was measured when generating two gaming traffic patterns and one VoIP call.
