Abstract
Security is a major issue in networks these days. Network attacks are widely explored topic when it comes to network security and protection. In this paper two types of DDoS attacks are explored considering the mesh Wireless Sensor Network topology. That is, a path based attack on the PAN Coordinator and a path based attack on the ZigBee router. Several performance parameters which are analyzed show severe deterioration of performance of the network under attack.
