A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a mobile ad hoc network in which network nodes are vehicles-most commonly road vehicles. VANETs present a unique range of challenges and opportunities for routing protocols due to the semi-organized nature of vehicular movements subject to the constraints of roa...
