A novel defense mechanism via Genetic Algorithm for counterfeiting and combating Jelly Fish attack in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

The Mobile Ad Hoc Network is a self controlling infrastructure-less wireless network with no unify administration with numerous characteristics like dynamic topology, multi hop routing, distributed routing and many more. MANETS are vulnerable to both active and passive attacks in the network. Jelly Fish attack downgrade the network performance and affects the network parameters like end to end delay, packet delivery ratio, throughput and energy spent. The end to end congestion control mechanism of Transmission Control Protocol is exploited by the Jelly Fish Attack. The main aim of this paper is to propose a novel mechanism for counterfeiting and combating the effect of Jelly Fish attack in the network using genetic algorithm.
