Packet Dropper and Collecting Missing Packet due to Packet Dropping Attackers in Mobile Adhoc Network using Divide and Conquer Algorithm

Abstract

In a mobile ad hoc network, packet transmission is essential to prevent packet drops along the transmission path. Attackers who drop forwarded packets are present in the MANET and are attempting to lower the MANET's performance. There are several ways to identify packet dropper attackers and warn the MANET about them. The divide and conquer tactic is used in this research study to identify the attacker who dropped the packets and to obtain the missing packet from the intermediary source. This task will be accomplished by adding an extra buffer to hold the forwarded packet during its whole round trip from source to destination. The findings of the suggested work's implementation using the network simulator and comparisons with those of the current methodology ultimately demonstrate that the divide and conquer approach has demonstrated the MANET's performance.
