摘要：MANETs are unplanned, self-configuring network composed of mobile nodes that utilize mesh networking principles for inter-connectivity. MANETs are IP networks made up of a collection of wireless and mobile nodes communicating via radio links that can temporarily form a network whenever they coexist in the same neighbourhood without any fixed infrastructure such as base stations for mobile switching and no centralized administration. Generally the nodes have a limited transmission range, such that each node seeks some assistance of its neighbouring nodes to forward packets. The main problem in MANETs is the security which is because of the open nature and no fixed topology of the MANET environment. One of the primary goals of designing secure routing protocols is to prevent a compromised node from disrupting the route discovery and maintenance mechanisms. However, this added security comes at the cost of performance. This paper evaluates the performance of a secure routing protocol to overcome byzantine attacks using scenario-based experiments.
