Performance evaluation and comparison of AODV and DSR routing protocols in MANETs under wormhole attack

Routing in wireless network is fundamental task which helps node to send and receive packets. Due to lack of centralized authority security in mobile ad hoc networks is very difficult. Traditionally, routing protocols were designed for good performance only and security issues were not considered. So either new routing protocols should be designed which have security parameter also or security parameters must be included in the existing routing protocol. There are number of attacks on routing protocol, one of them is wormhole attack. We will evaluate the performance of AODV and DSR routing protocol under wormhole attack and compare the performance of these protocol without wormhole attack. Performance parameters are Average end to end delay, Throughput, and Packet delivery ratio(PDR). We will use Qualnet Simulator 5.0.
