Authors:Narayanasamy Rajendran || Dr. E.R.Naganathan

Abstract:A MANET is a collection of independent mobile nodes that communicates with each other through wireless medium. The MANET architecture is dynamic in nature, the nodes act as transmitter and receiver. The vehicular ad hoc network topology changes frequently due to the dynamic nature of the autonomous mobile nodes. MANET is exposed to multiple kinds of attacks due to its fundamental characteristics like no security mechanism, dynamic topology, no central control devices and open wireless medium. The impact of attacks affects the security, quality of service and the performance of MANET. MANET is the best alternative for developing countries where communications infrastructure doesn’t exist. To understand the how MANET is created, configured and controlled we need to understand the following area: MANET Architecture, Clustering Formation, Identification of Host and IP address auto configuration, Handover mechanisms on MANET, Routing on MANET, MANET file sharing, Different types of attacks and Security on MANET..
