Abstract

Protecting the network layer is an important problem in an ad hoc network. Several base network later protocols were built under the assumption that nodes forming an ad hoc network do not have enough power or processing capabilities to launch a powerful malicious attack. Thus they do not offer any immunity. AODV-S offers enhancement to the AODV protocol by incorporating protection against several routing attacks. However in this paper, we show that AODV-S is not immune to DoS attack using modified hop count. We also provide a solution to this problem using an ordering algorithm.
