Evaluation of Impact of Wormhole Attack on AODV

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) are self-organizing, decentralized networks and possess dynamic topology, which make them attractive for routing attacks. Wormhole attack is a network layer attack observed in MANET, which completely disrupts the communication channel. This paper focuses on the study of...

Description
Summary:Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) are self-organizing, decentralized networks and possess dynamic topology, which make them attractive for routing attacks. Wormhole attack is a network layer attack observed in MANET, which completely disrupts the communication channel. This paper focuses on the study of wormhole attack, its behavior and the performance impact of wormhole attack on Adhoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. The NS2 network simulator is used to evaluate the wormhole attack impact on AODV.
