Performance evaluation of EAACK IDS using AODV and DSR routing protocols in MANET

From past few years, wireless networks are mostly preferred because of its mobility and scalability characteristics. Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is one of such important wireless communication network. The open medium and wide distribution of node makes MANET vulnerable to malicious attacks. It demands for more secure intrusion detection system. The EAACK intrusion detection system solves the limitations of receiver collision, limited transmission power and false misbehavior report in earlier system. EAACK makes use of DSR routing protocol for network of small scale. However, as the network size increases and due to dynamic environment, performance of DSR protocol affects. Hence the evaluation of EAACK using DSR and AODV routing protocols in MANET is proposed. Results show that AODV performs better for the performance metrics Packet Delivery Ratio, Packet Loss Ratio and Throughput.
