Abstract: Conventional routing protocols breaks down in opportunistic networks due to long delays, frequent disconnectivity and resource scarcity. Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) has been developed to cope with these mentioned features. In the absence of connected link between the sender and the receiver, in DTN mobile nodes replicate bundles and work cooperatively to improve the delivery probability. Malicious nodes may flood the network as possible by a huge number of unwanted bundles (messages) or bundle replicas which waste the limited resources. DOS (Denial of Service) attack especially Flooding attack attempt to compromise the availability service of the network. Traditional congestion control strategies are not suitable for DTN, so developing new mechanisms to detect and to control flooding attack is a major challenge in DTN network. In this paper, we presented a comprehensive overview of the existing solutions for dealing with flooding attack in delay tolerant network, and we proposed an effective controlling mechanism to mitigate this threat. The main goal of this mechanism is first to detect malicious nodes that flood the network by unwanted messages, and then to limit the damage caused by this attack. We also ran a large number of simulations with the ONE simulator to investigate how changing buffer capacity, message lifetime, message size, and message replicas affect DTN network performance metrics.

Keywords: DTN; flooding attack; DOS; congestion; buffer capacity; bundle; ONE
