Vikas Sharma

Abstract: Vehicular Ad-hoc Network is kind of mobile ad hoc network which deals with moving vehicles called as nodes. There are two varieties of communications in Vehicular Ad-hoc Network one is Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and another is Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I). Vehicles send and receive messages to and from each other. Routing is the process of moving messages across an internetwork from source to destination. This paper presents the Qualitative Analysis of topology based routing protocols and their comparison on different parameters.
