Abstract :
An approach for the simulation of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), as a TCP worm infiltrates the network, has been developed. The network simulator mimics the actual performance and protocols of a MANET while taking into account the payload size, channel bandwidth, initial infection probabilities, collisions, radio range, and routing protocols, as well as various other conditions. The simulator demonstrates the propagation of a TCP worm through the network using an extended epidemic model that allows the TCP worm to grow based on network conditions-topology, performance, protocols, etc.
