In this paper, we investigate the impact of a denial-of-service attack and propagation loss on routing in a vehicular ad-hoc network environment, by comparing the performance of two routing protocols, AODV and DSDV, in terms of average throughput, packet delivery ratio and average end-to-end delay. Experiments are conducted in a simulated environment based on a real map from Newcastle city using ns-3 and SUMO. The results showed that in an urban environment, modelled by Nakagami, both protocols had poor performance, with DSDV experiencing very high delay. However, when using less realistic propagation loss models (Friis and Two-Ray Ground), both protocols had considerably improved performance in terms of all metrics with DSDV showing better delay figures. Under a DoS attack, both protocols experienced significant performance reductions particularly in terms of throughput and packet delivery ratio, yet AODV slightly outperformed DSDV.
