Abstract

When dynamic nature, autonomous, self- configured types nodes are combined together and make contact with each other for the purpose of communication and data sharing; these types of forms networks are known as a mobile ad hoc network. The nodes don't restrict themselves due to physical barrier. They move into any location, place and communicate with the other nodes within their communication range. There is no fixed location of nodes. The dynamic nature of MANET makes it vulnerable to different type of attack. We are considering the wormhole attack which affects the network by transferring the data from one location to another location using a long range tunnel. In this paper, we are evaluating the performance of the proposed scheme with existing schemes such as RTT1, RTT2, DelPHI. The performance of the proposed scheme is measured in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio, packet loss, average E2E delay and jitter.
