Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks are considered as a promising
solution for offering low-cost access to broadband
services. However, one of the main challenges in the
design of these networks is their vulnerability to
security attacks. In this paper, we analyze the
fundamental security challenges and constraints of these
networks, classify several possible attacks, and survey
several intrusion prevention, detection, and response
mechanisms found in the literature.
