Subject: [manet] Can we use the packet loss rate to detect DOS attack?

Hi, all,

I am a newcommer in ad hoc network field. 
I get a question of Denail-of-service attack. In case
a malicious node resides on a route, it drops packets
according to a possibility, say dropping 20% or 30%.
Can we detect this attack by looking at the packet
loss rate?

In another word, can we get normal packet loss rates
for specific environments?

thanks,

Jianfeng
