In this paper, we examine security issues related to proactive routing protocols for MANETs. Specifically, we investigate security properties of the Optimized Link-State Routing Protocol one example of a proactive routing protocol for MANETs. We investigate the possible attacks against the integrity of the network routing infrastructure, and present techniques for countering a variety of such a...

A MANET is a multi-hop ad-hoc wireless network where nodes can move arbitrary in the topology. The network has no given infrastructure and can be set up quickly in any environment. The Optimized Link State Routing(OLSR) protocol is a route management protocol for such mobile ad hoc networks. This study presents the work of implementing the OLSR routing protocol. The implementation is done in a ...

This paper lays down a proposal of protocol named DREAM_OLSR. The protocol has been developed so as to effect current OLSR (RFC 3626) [4] protocol. The protocol establishes an optimized solution hence the name has been manipulated from Open Link State Routing to DREAM Optimized Link State Routing. DREAM specifies Distance Routing Effective Algorithm for Mobility wherein it implements the Distan...

Self-organized networking is foreseen as an important component in the Internet’s near-future architecture. An essential challenge concerning the integration of this new component is the accomplishment of scalable and efficient ad hoc routing. This report proposes a new solution in this space, DHT-OLSR, based on OLSR enhanced with dynamic clustering and distributed hash table (DHT) routing. We ...
