Mobile Adhoc Network Risk Profiles - An Overview of Existing Network Traffic Datasets to DetermineIdeal Axiom Criteria

Abstract

A Mobile Adhoc networks also known as MANET or Wireless Adhoc Network is a network that usually has aroutable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network. It consist of a set of mobile nodes connected wirelessly in a self-configured, self-healing network without having a fixed infrastructure. Recent studies and fieldwork have pointed in the direction of making MANETS a publicly viable option in the event of another world event/crisis such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. As opposed to their traditional military and emergency uses, this has become a focal point due to the evident strain that was observed on mainstream Internet Service Providers as substantial adjustments had to be made to facilitate a new ’working-from-home’ public. A primary aspect that must be considered before public adoption is addressing the issue of MANET risk and Security which leads into identifying and classifying risks associated with MANETS.
