ODASARA: A Novel on Demand Ant Based Security Alert Routing Algorithm for MANET in Grid Environment

This paper proposes a novel On Demand Ant based security alert routing Algorithm (ODASARA) for mobile adhoc networks in grid environment, which combines the on-demand routing capability of Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol with a Ant Colony Optimization mechanism using ant like mobile agents. AODV requires the actual communication to be delayed until the route is determined. This may not be suitable for real time data and multimedia communication applications. A novel On Demand Ant based Security alert Routing Algorithm provides high connectivity, reducing the amount of route discoveries before starting new connections. ODASARA enables the use of security as a negotiable metric to improve the relevance of the routes discovered by ad hoc routing protocols. This eliminates the delay before making on demand ant based security alert routing algorithm ideal for real time communication in highly dynamic networks such as MANETs. We study the performance of On Demand Ant based security alert Routing for static and dynamic network topologies.develop a two-tier classification of routing protocol security metrics, and propose a framework to measure and enforce security attributes on ad hoc routing paths. Our framework enables applications to adapt their behavior according to the level of protection available on communicating nodes in an ad hoc network.
