Abstract

In this paper we present a technique to defend against Broken Link Fraud, a denial of service attack against Destination Sequenced Distance Vector. Each node in the network keeps track of the frequency of next hop for each destination. Next hop is blacklisted if frequency exceeds a threshold. Our method does not rely on expensive cryptographic techniques making it suitable for energy constrained Mobile Ad hoc NETworks. Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of our method in blacklisting misbehaving node, resulting in improved Packet Delivery Ratio.
