In recent years, Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have been great interest all over the world for its advantage of high mobility and flexibility. It is also among the greatest challenges in wireless communications. As a special type of MANET, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are considerably important in Next-Generation Networking (NGN). Unlike typical MANETs, VANETs are much more challenging due to high velocity, which makes classic MANET routing protocols cannot fit in such scenarios efficiently. This paper is intended to evaluate performance of two different routing protocols, namely DSDV and AODV, in various realistic scenarios. Thus, a DSDV optimization approach is therefore proposed to improve DSDV's performance in VANETs.
