SURVEY OF PACKET DROPPING ATTACK IN MANET
A. P. Janani, A. Sivasubramanian · 2014
Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is an application of wireless network with self-configuring mobile nodes. MANET does not require any fixed infrastructure. Its development never has any threshold range. Nodes in MANET can communicate with each other if and only if all the nodes are in the same range. This wide distribution of nodes makes MANET vulnerable to various attacks, packet dropping attack or black hole attack is one of the possible attack. It is very hard to detect and prevent. To prevent from packet dropping attack, detection of misbehavior links and selfish nodes plays a vital role in MANETs. In this paper, a comprehensive investigation on detection of misbehavior links and malicious nodes is carried out.
