Abstract

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) functionality had been included into IEEE 802.11s. For WMN, the routing message is one of the most important parts that need to be protected. Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) is the default routing protocol for WMN. In this paper, the attacks and vulnerabilities of HWMP had been identified and the requirements needed to protect HWMP had also been discussed. Existing HWMP security had been compared with the requirements.
