A Sequence Number Prediction Based Bait Detection Scheme to Mitigate Sequence Number Attacks in MANETs

Algorithm 2

Operation of node after receiving RREQ packet.

Procedure 1: Actions by the node after receiving an RREQ

Retrieve the Status of the node forwarding RREQ packet

If (Status == malicious ) then

Discard the RREQ packet

End If

Else If (valid fresher route is available in the routing table) then

Generate the RREP packet and forward it towards the Source Node.

End If

Else

Update the Routing Information and forward the RREQ further.
