Malicious Attack, MSS, Packet Deformation, Malicious NodeAbstract
MANET is an infrastructure less wireless network of Mobile Nodes connected directly or indirectly. It was basically designed for military purpose but now a days it is widely used in almost every field because of its characteristics. Wide scope of use has increased its vulnerability towards Malicious Attack. The attacks are particularly performed to reduce its throughput. We have considered Packet Deformation, a kind of Malicious Attack, caused by keeping variable Maximum Segment Size at intermediate nodes. Network Parameters are evaluated at presence and absence of Malicious Behavior. We have considered three parameters to view the effect of Malicious Attack namely, Throughput, End to End Delay and Jitter. On varing Maximum Segment Size, Packet Deformation causes changes in these parameters.
