A Closed Queueing Network Model for Malware Spreading Over Non-Propagative Ad Hoc Networks
Overview This paper proposes a closed queueing network model, based on a probabilistic node infection framework that captures in an aggregated manner the behavior of an ad hoc network attacked by a group of malicious nodes. The proposed framework and model are shown to be more appropriate in dealing with the inherent stochastic nature of malware spreading and ad hoc networks. They focus on the case of non-propagative networks and use the Norton equivalent of the proposed model to solve it analytically in its steady state. Based on these results, they study the behavior of the system with two indicative metrics, the average number of infected nodes and the average throughput of the queue of non-infected nodes that allow them to identify the critical system parameters affecting the operation of the network and the impact of an attack.
