Denial-of-Service attacks, and jamming in particular, are a threat to wireless networks because they are at the same time easy to mount and difficult to detect and stop. This paper proposes a distributed intrusion detection system in which each node monitors the traffic flow on the network and collects relevant statistics about it. It is now possible to tell if (and which type of) an attack happened or if the channel is just saturated by combining each node's view. However, this system opens the possibility for misuse. The paper discusses the impact of the misuse on the system and the best strategies for each actor.
