Abstract

In the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) paradigm, multipath routing protocols were initially proposed due to QoS needs, since they do not require initiation of the route discovery process after each link disconnection. Moreover, research on MANET routing security has shown that multipath routing provides increased resilience against security attacks of collaborating malicious nodes. Towards this direction, several secure multipath routing protocols have been recently proposed in the literature, which indeed provide such increased security protection for critical applications. However, embedding security mechanisms always imposes extra burden to the route discovery process. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the existing secure multipath routing protocols for MANET through extensive simulations in various traffic scenarios.
