A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less, de-centralized network, consisting of a group of mobile wireless nodes that move around freely and cooperate with each other in routing and forwarding packets. MANET has no clear line of defense, and its accessibility to both legitimate users and malicious attackers makes it particularly vulnerable to flooding and denial of service (DoS) attacks launched through compromised nodes or intruders. This triggers an acute need of flooding attack prevention mechanisms for this highly vulnerable type of network. In this paper we have reviewed some related works on flooding attack prevention and have tried to summarize the prevention schemes based on four major parameters like architecture, data source, detection technique and routing protocol.
