Modeling and Simulations of TCP MANET Worms
Overview Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are used for emergency situations like disaster - relief, military applications, and emergency medical situations. These applications make MANETs attractive targets for cyber - attacks and make the development of counter - measures paramount. The study of worm behavior is critical to the design of effective counter measures in MANET environments. This paper studies the behavior of TCP based worms in MANETs. Analytical models are developed for the spread of TCP worms in the MANET environment that account for payload - size, bandwidth - sharing, radio range, nodal density, packet discards and several other parameters specific to MANETs. This paper presents numerical solutions for the models and verifies the results using high fidelity packet - level simulations.
