Preventing packet dropping attack on AODV based routing in mobile ad-hoc MANET

TLDR: This paper analysed nature of packet dropping and bandwidth attack based on AODV routing protocol on MANET, and proposed node bypassing technique to detect such kind of attacks.

Abstract: Mobile adhoc network is a wireless network. Which forwards the information in forms of packets either data packet or control packet from source to destination. It is a collection of mobile devices that can move from one direction to other that is the reason the topology is not fixed, and does not required any prefix infrastructure for configuring MANET. All devices under network can communicate with each other within a range. Packet dropping and bandwidth attacks are one of major concern on mobile adhoc network. If enough security measures are not their then the attacker nodes significantly degrades the performance of the network. This paper analysed nature of packet dropping and bandwidth attack based on AODV routing protocol on MANET, and proposed node bypassing technique to detect such kind of attacks.
