Dear IETF group,

     In the watchdog and pathrater have lot of weakness. The weakness are 1. ambiguous collisions
2. Receiver collisions
3. Limited tranmission power
4. false misbehaviour
5. collusion
6. partial dropping
7. re-entrance of malicious node

Whereas it was implemented on top of the DSR routing protocols. Is this problem is because of the extension of the DSR routing protocols !.

If any one known please answer the question.
