Study of Denial of Service Attack On AODV Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network

As in the contemporary era, people used to use ad-hoc networks at manifold locations, and they prefer to use them whenever they want, because they are facing situations from attackers or any malicious node/host, while operating Wi-Fi or any other type of ad-hoc network. Security is a major issue of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), because in MANET it is possible to face many different problems in each layer, which are being created by malicious nodes or intruders. This paper demonstrates briefs about MANET, and the effect of Denial of Service on Mobile Ad-hoc Network using AODV routing protocol while we are using it for data transmission. Furthermore, the various routing protocols, such as proactive and reactive, and out of that explanation, the AODV routing protocol in detail, including their working method, and explore the various possible attacks on MANET will be classified along with specific examples or figures. Moreover, Network simulator 3 (NS3) is popular for implementing various scenarios of MANET, so, considering that, give a brief introduction of NS3.
