Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are one of the next generation of computing, will play a very important role in the Internet of Things (IoT), for example in smart environments, IoT interacts with MANETs, becoming even more attractive and economically successful. At the same time, MANETs suffers from various attacks that menace the security and decrease the performances of the network. In this article, we simulate and analyze the impact of Link-spoofing and Replay attacks with Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) (RFC 3626) on using ns-3 simulator. In this simulation, we took into consideration the density of the network by the number of nodes included in the network, the speed of the nodes, the mobility model and even we chose the IEEE 802.11ac wireless local-area network (WLAN) standard for the MAC layer, in order to have a simulation, which deals with more general and more real scenarios. To be able to evaluate the impact of the attack on the network, we chose the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics for performance evaluation: Packet delivery rate, Normalized routing load and End-to-End delay.
