摘要:In past few years, VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) has become a remarkable area for researchanalysis and development. VANET is a subgroup of MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network). VANET and MANET bothare wireless networks which are characterized as self-configured and autonomous ad-hoc networks. VANETs differfrom MANETs in terms of dynamic topology and high mobility. Due to unstable connectivity, high mobility andnetwork partitioning, information routing in VANETs becomes difficult and challenging, thus creating a need forefficient VANET routing protocols. This paper provides a summary on VANET and gives its routing protocols whichfocuses on vehicle to vehicle i.e. V2V communication. This paper aims at classifying protocols on the basis of routinginformation and comparing them using following parameters namely methodology used, benefits/strengths andlimitations. The paper compares reactive and proactive routing protocols based on their advantages and disadvantages,also discussing the challenges and research related issues for the routing mechanisms that exist in VANETs.
