context_page_description: Vehicular Reactive Routing protocol is a reactive routing protocol with geographical features which is specifically designed for Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment standard in Vehicular ad hoc Networks. The protocol takes advantages of the multichannel scheme defined in WAVE and uses the Control Channel for signalling, and relies on one of the multiple Service Channels for payload data dissemination.
context_section_description: The Vehicular Reactive Routing (VRR) protocol is integrated with the WAVE stack and is embedded at the Logic Link Control layer. VRR is a multi-channel protocol which exercises efficient route discovery, route maintenance and data deliver processes with the use of the Control Channel (CCH) and a Service Channel (SCH). Standard WSA messages are transmitted over CCH and IPv6 packets are transmitted over SCH. To obtain a current neighbour location the WSA frame is modified to carry position information (incurs an additional 4 Bytes). Route request and route reply demands are transmitted inside WSA frames (additional 40 Bytes) over the Control Channel and data acknowledgment and all application data (IPv6 packets) are sent over the Service Channel.
  Due to these modifications, a route is firstly established over the CCH and afterwards data are transmitted over the SCH.
