Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork is a self-configuring network that has no infrastructure and communication happens in multi-hop fashion.This dynamic nature of MANET and lack of infrastructure makes it prone to many types of routing and security attacks.Ad-hoc Ondemand Distance Vector is the most commonly preferred routing protocol in which route is formulated only when it is needed in a reactive manner.AODV is prone to a kind of packet drop attack called blackhole attack.In this paper, we have reviewed many existing solutions that are useful in mitigation of blackhole attack.These mechanisms are categorized as detection and prevention methodologies in the review.We have provided a detail on these mechanisms involving the concept of mechanism, simulation and result in brief and critically review them for their drawbacks and advantages along with their simulation and result highlights.A comparison is drawn and finally, the future research areas are identified on which the research should focus.
