Abstract

To analyze the attack on mechanisms of confliction in wireless networks, a new method based on the system stability is introduced. Firstly, the theoretic basis for flow control attacks is discussed, which shows that the flow control attack may destroy data stream and network system at a low speed. Then, the procedure of flow control attack is analyzed and the basic attack method and double speed attack method is presented. At last, the efficiency of flow control attack is discussed from two aspects: link throughput and link utilization. The results show that the flow control attack may cause great harm to wireless networks.
