A Review of RPL Based Routing Protocols in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET)

In the present day, the Internet of Things is becoming more and more popular. Enabling continuous connectivity and packet routing in this kind of network is difficult because of the resource limitations that are a feature of IoT. Reduce end-to-end latency, conserve energy, and balance network load are the three basic objectives of lightweight routing protocol. In this paper, we give a quick review of the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks-based routing protocols of VANET already in use and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. More specifically, we examine a few chosen VANET routing protocols and contrast their performance based on metrics like packet delivery ratio, Throughput, End to end delay, Routing- Cost, etc.
