Abstract: The security issue is a major concern in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). There are various solutions on secure routing protocols that are developed to count the well- known attacks. This network is always highly vulnerable to attackers due to wireless communication medium. This is quite easy for attackers to access the wireless medium and easily enter into the network. So, any kind of attacks occur in the network degrades the network performance and increases the packet overhead in the network. In this paper, we have proposed enhanced ant colony-based AODV (EAAODV) protocol for the analysis of gray and black-hole attack effects. A comparative analysis is shown among energy aware ant colony optimisation (EAACO) and enhanced AODV (EAODV) protocols. We compared the performance of these protocols based on various QoS parameters like delay, control overhead, throughput and the packet delivery ratio. The reproduction results show that our protocol performance clarity is better than others.
