Performance Analysis of Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) Under Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET)

Abstract

MANET consists of a collection of nodes which dynamically can be made anywhere without using a fixed network infrastructure such as a base station so that MANET becomes vulnerable to network attacks. The black hole attack is one of several types of attacks that occurs in MANET. A black hole attack is an attack that causes packets around the attacking node to disappear as of the network loses several information and can reduce its performances. Choosing the right routing protocol is one of the efforts to minimize the impact of black hole attacks in MANET. This study was done to compare which is better between AODV and DSR routing protocol during black hole attack in MANET. From the simulation results, the AODV routing protocol shows better values compared to DSR routing protocol from several QoS parameters such as throughput, delay, and packet loss; either before being hit by black hole attacks or after being hit by single black hole and collaborative black hole attacks.
