A Comprehensive Study of Jelly Fish Attack in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Mobile Adhoc Networks have become a part and parcel of technology advancements due to its working as autonomous system. MANET networks are vulnerable to various types of attacks and threats due to its unique characteristics like dynamic topology, Shared physical medium, distributed operations and many more. There are many attacks which effect the functioning of MANETS’ such as denial of service which is most commonly used to affect the network is one of the types of attacks in MANETS. Jellyfish attack has gained its name recently in attack scenario in Mobile Ad hoc networks. JellyFish Attack exploits the end to end congestion control mechanism of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
