Prevention against DDOS in MANET
Using Ids · 2014
A MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself on the fly.Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time.The network is decentralized, where all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the nodes themselves, i.e., routing functionality will be incorporated into mobile nodes.The design of network protocols for these networks is a complex issue. Regardless of the application, MANETs need efficient distributed algorithms to determine network organization, link scheduling, and routing. However, determining viable routing paths and delivering messages in a decentralized environment where network topology fluctuates is not a well-defined problem. Since there is no centralized control, these nodes are prone to various attacks on network. Our main focus is expanding the effect of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in routing packets, packet loss rate, end to end delay. Emphasizing on these factors we formulate a solution to figurea secure IDS to detect this attack and block it.
