Security aspects of OSPF as a MANET routing protocol
OSPF, Open Shortest Path First, is an Intra-gateway routing protocol
first developed as an IETF effort. It is widely adopted in large
enterprise-scale networks, being well regarded for its fast
convergence and loop-free routing. It is versatile in terms of which
interface types it supports, such as point-to-point links or broadcast networks.
It also offers scalability through hierarchical routing and by using
centralization to reduce the amount of overhead on networks which have
broadcast or broadcast-similar properties. An interface type missing
from the standard so far is that of a wireless network, characterized
by non-guaranteed bidirectional links combined with unreliable
broadcasting, and existing interface types generally perform poorly
under these networks. The IETF has therefore instituted a Working Group to
standardize such an interface type extension to the latest version,
OSPF version 3. This interface type will permit mobility and
multi-hop characteristics in addition to those of wireless links in
general. Such networks are usually referred to as Mobile
Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). MANET routing protocols are subject to more
severe security issues than ordinary, wireline-oriented protocols
are. This thesis aims to indentify key security aspects of OSPF as a
MANET routing protocol
