Vanet is a subclass of MANET but its topology changes rapidly and network gets disconnected frequently. The prevailing routing protocol of MANET is very much applicable to Vanet. Because of its frequently disconnecting routes it is difficult to design an efficient routing protocol. Proper design of routing protocol for Vanet makes the network a successful one.. The challenges in VANET are, designing appropriate routing protocols suitable to the traffic model, ensuring proper delivery of emergency messages, security of the data and, avoiding the collision of messages, avoiding flooding of messages, etc. To support such services, broadcasting protocols are used. In this work, we review communication routing protocols for broadcasting mechanisms that alleviate the broadcast storm problem. A novel mechanism is one which includes mesh routers in the network reduces the broadcast storm problem and increasing the dissemination ratio.}, }
