VANET (Vehicular ad hoc networks) is a special type of MANET which is mainly used for making Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). This paper presents various routing algorithms/protocols which can be used for implementing VANETs for communication and management of the network. This paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these routing protocols. The routing protocols fall into two noteworthy classes. One is topology-based and the other is position-based routing. The paper talks about the advantages and disadvantages of these routing protocols, explores the motivation behind their design and follow the advancement of these routing protocols. At last, it finishes up the paper by pointing out some open issues and conceivable directions of future research related VANET routing.
