Overview

This article aims to discuss the nodes in the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) work on the foundation of cooperation in the network. When working in a cooperative manner, these nodes consume some network resources like bandwidth, buffer space, etc. Like any other networks, DTNs are also prone to the malicious nodes and different attacks. In this work, the researchers have proposed an attack model comprising of falsification of extended routing protocol metadata information combined with drop all attack. They have proposed the attack model definition and analyzed the performance of extended Epidemic routing protocol of DTN under this attack model. From the simulation results, they analyzed that the delivery probability of extended Epidemic routing protocols is greatly affected by the proposed attack model whereas the DTN routing protocols are proved to be robust against the individual attacks when implemented independently of each other.
