Performance analysis of routing protocols under different types of attacks in MANETs

Abstract

MANETs are self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimized network of devices which are mobile in nature connected by a wireless medium. All mobile nodes in “MANET” are mobile and therefore the nodes change their links with other devices very frequently. Some receiving nodes in the network maybe moved out-of-range of the sender node, therefore the data packets hops through intermediate nodes. The nodes in MANETs thus behave as router as well as end-devices. MANET network can be connected within itself or tothe Internet also. MANETs are infrastructure-less and hence are very vulnerable to attacks. Through this paper, we've presented the study and comparative analysis of different Routing Protocols under attacks.
