Persistent packet reordering attack in TCP based Ad hoc wireless networks

This paper investigates congestion behavior of TCP and its variants TCP Reno, TCP NewReno, TCP Sack1, TCP Vegas, TCP Rbp and TCP Fack for AODV (Ad hoc Ondemand Distance Vector) and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) routing protocols under persistent packet reordering attack through simulations in NS-2. It also proposes a solution to counter misinterpretation packet reordering with packet loss when retransmissions are due to persistent packet reordering by malicious nodes rather than packet loss due to traditional reasons.
