An Implementation Analysis and Evaluation Study of DSR with Inactive DoS Attack in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

The idea of connecting anytime, anywhere as led to the development of Ad hoc Network, in which mobiles nodes and link connectivity might change all the time. In this kind of networks, security, quality of service, routing are important and complex problems. Secure routing in ad hoc network is a daunting task because of some contradictions between sustained benevolent behavior by all nodes participating in the network and the associated applications. In this paper, the authors try to identify the benevolent behavior against the standard pre-existing routing protocol, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol. The selection of DSR is because it seemed that it would be the one that could more easily accommodate the needed modifications. With the simulations results obtained , they emphasize the efficiency that affects the throughput, Packet delivery Ratio, End-to-End-Delay of the scheme and highlight that it outperforms the DSR protocol when as many as 3% of the nodes are acting selfishly and 5% nodes are maliciously.
