Analyzing the spread of active worms over VANET
Syed Ali Khayam, Hayder Radha · 2004
This paper investigates the parameters governing the spread of active worms over VANET. To this end, we first define the average degree of a VANET node using freeway traffic parameters. The spread of a worm in congested and low-density traffic scenarios is modeled using a stochastic model of infectious disease. Analysis is provided for preemptive and interactive patching scenarios.
