چکیده (انگلیسی):

Routers in wireless networks are often prone to variety of attacks like a man in the middle, distributed
denial of service, smurf, ping of death, routing loops, counting to infinity, . Among all these attacks
routing loop is the most common one and it have a harmful effect on network performance. In this
study, we have proposed a novel cognitive agents based security scheme to handle routing loops in
wireless networks. The proposed scheme uses Cognitive Agents (CAs) on every routers with
Observation-Belief (O-B) model, which detect and handle routing loops efficiently. As a result,
network performance improves with respect to various performance metrics like delay, packet loss
ratio, bandwidth consumption, throughput, latency, queue length and so on.
