Rank Base Data Routing (RBDR) scheme using AOMDV: A proposed scheme for packet drop attack detection and prevention in MANET

Packet drop attack is a one kind of denial of service attack which is mainly occurs at a network layer in Mobile Ad Hoc Network. In Packet drop attack, attacker discards the packet instead of forward it to final destination. It is necessary to detect and prevent this unpredictable attack for improving the data transmission among mobile nodes. In this article, we investigated the various proposed schemes for packet drop attack and present a remarkable comparison among them. Finally, we have proposed a solution based on Rank Based Data Routing (RBDR) record to identify malicious behaviour in network. The RBDR is created with field of routing details to analysis the behaviour of network for detecting the malicious paths. The scheme is to identify the malicious paths for preventing the packet drop attack and also able to find the trusted multiple disjoint loop free routes for data delivery in MANET. The proposed scheme will be implemented in NS2 using AOMDV routing protocol.
