VANETs are considered as autonomous self configuring networks and created by applying the principles of MANETs. MANETs are composed of self-organizable infrastructure of mobile devices connected without wires. VANETs form a spontaneous creation of wireless networks for data exchange in the domain of vehicles. VANETs thus provide services for improving the road safety. One of the main services is routing mechanisms. Due to the high mobility of nodes routing becomes more difficult. The routing protocols depend on routing information, network structures and techniques and so on. VANETs protocols reduce time consumption, overhead between the nodes, performance efficiency. In this paper describes VANET architectures, routing protocols, features and classification. Also a comparative study of VANETs routing protocols
