Abstract: The objective of this work is to compare with simulating, using OPNET the performance of five Ad hoc routing protocols: DSR, AODV, OLSR ,TORA and GRP , and to examine the impact of mobility and the density of nodes on the behavior of these protocols in a Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET). The results show that there is not a protocol that is favorite for all evaluation criteria. Indeed, each protocol has different behavior in relation to performance metrics considered, including the rate of routing packets sent, delay, and the debit.
