The network is created in wireless ad hoc fashion by involving nodes without any central administrator. In wireless ad hoc network there are no dedicated routers or network management nodes, but nodes work in peer to peer fashion and acts as both servers and routers. Since the nodes participate in the protocol execution as peers, any network node can abuse the protocol operation. It is difficult to identify the trustworthy nodes and misbehaving nodes. An approach is based on two parts for misbehavior detection in wireless ad hoc network. The first part detects the misbehaving links using the 2ACK algorithm and this information is transferred into second part which uses the principle of conservation of flow algorithm for detection of misbehaving node.

Keywords: Ad hoc networks, Link misbehavior, Node misbehavior, Reputation system, Wireless communications.
