Abstract -Wireless sensor network (WSN) is very popular research area now days. WSN mainly used in industrial and consumer applications like heath care monitoring and machine health monitoring. Major challenge in front of WSN is security.  There are many attacks on wireless sensor network which make network vulnerable. Vampire attack is one of the newly introduced attacks on wireless sensor network. There are two types of vampire attacks first is stretch attack and another is carousel attack. In stretch attack malicious node purposely choose longest route for packet forwarding. In carousel attack packet moves in loop. Stretch attack is difficult to detect than carousel attack. These attacks are routing attacks. The basic purpose of these attacks is to drain the energy of available nodes in the network. There are many detection and protection mechanisms are available but nothing is very specific. The paper discussed about how DLWASN routing protocol scheme is better than beacon routing and clean slate routing with implementation and results.
