To Detect Attacks against High throughput Multicast Routing Protocol in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Wireless mesh network (WMNs) emerged as a promising technology that offers
low-cost high-bandwidth community wireless services. Discovering and maintaining
routes between nodes are one of the biggest challenges in WMNs. The ultimate goal of the
WMN community is to provide a set of standardized protocols that can be both robust and
scalable. To improve the group oriented services a multicast stability scheme is to be used.
This paper focused on metrics that estimate link quality to maximize throughput. The
main objective of this system is to detect attacks against high throughput multicast routing
protocol. This approach improves the robustness of the ODMRP multicast protocol with
secured and high throughput metric form. The solution accommodates transient network
variations and is resilient against attempts to exploit the defense mechanism itself. Link
stability is computed by using the parameters such as received power, distance between
neighboring nodes and the link quality assessed using bit errors in a packet. This scheme is
expected to provide highly stable, reliable, robust paths. As the paths in this should be
stable for longer time and does not break easily during data transfer so this can also give
longer battery life. This work will be carried out using NS2
