Title: A Survey of Routing Protocols for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
Section 1: Introduction
Description 1: Provide an overview of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) and the importance of routing protocols within these networks.

Section 2: Classification of Routing Protocols
Description 2: Discuss the two main categories of routing protocols for VANETs: protocols based on the topology of the network and protocols based on the position of vehicles.

Section 3: Topology-based Routing Protocols
Description 3: Detailed explanation of routing protocols that are based on the network's topology, their mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages.

Section 4: Position-based Routing Protocols
Description 4: Detailed examination of routing protocols based on the position of vehicles, including how they function, benefits, and limitations.

Section 5: Greedy Forwarding
Description 5: Description of greedy forwarding as a routing solution, including its use of adjacent vehicle locations and its efficiency in VANETs.

Section 6: Carry-and-Forward
Description 6: Discuss the carry-and-forward technique, its role in designing routing protocols, and its significance in VANETs.

Section 7: Comparison and Analysis
Description 7: Compare and analyze the different routing protocols based on various performance metrics and scenarios.

Section 8: Future Directions
Description 8: Explore potential future developments and research directions in the area of routing protocols for VANETs.

Section 9: Conclusion
Description 9: Summarize the key points discussed in the paper and the overall significance of effective routing protocols in VANETs.
