Malicious Behavior in Mobile Adhoc Networks : An Scheme to detect Misbehaving Nodes in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network MANET

Routing in MANET requires full co-operation from all the participating nodes to transfer the packet from source to destination. During the route establishment phase it prepares a list of nodes through which the packet will travel. Nodes involved in this list are supposed to transfer the data packet to the next node in the route with maximum probability, and try to reduce the overhead of packet retransmission because of lack of system support. But sometimes the intermediate nodes behave maliciously by not forwarding the packet to the next node, our objective is to finding those malicious nodes.
