Given the easiness and the cheapness of MANET deployment and provided that charging is possible, service providers are likely to offer their services over MANET. In previous works [1] and [2], we presented a distributed AAA framework for MANET. We propose to evaluate the runtime of this framework authentication protocol by modeling and simulating typical cases that are fairly representative of the reality and can easily be extended
