A multi-hop network consists of wired nodes. In this paper multi-hop wired network setup with multiple subnet and cloud internet connections would be simulated using OPNET Modeler. There will be four servers named File server, HTTP server, Email server and Database server. Also performance of this network will be analyzed.
Mobile Adhoc networks are gaining popularity in today's dynamic environment. These are characterized by high mobility, infrastructureless, self organizing, quick deployability and resource constrained networks. The network depends on cooperation among nodes for any communication. High mobility and dynamic architecture of mobile adhoc network make it vulnerable to security issues. Trust plays an important role for reliable and secured routing. To deal with the security issues in MANETS various trust models, reputation models and improved routing protocols are there but very less focus is given to the mobility pattern and dynamics of trust. In this paper, we modified the existing AODV routing protocol incorporating the trust dynamics and load balancing to deal with congestion and ensure secure routing in cyclic mobile Adhoc network. Fair Initialization and management of trust values is also considered during designing of this paper. The simulation is done using simulator NS2. Proposed work shows improvement over standard AODV protocol in terms of various network performance parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
