Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a special kind of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), which can provide scalable solutions for applications such as traffic safety, internet access, etc. To properly achieve this goal, these applications need an efficient routing protocol. Yet, contrary to the routing protocols designed for the MANETs, the routing protocols for the VANETs must take into account the highly dynamic topology caused by the fast mobility of the vehicles. Hence, improving the MANET routing protocol or designing a new one specific for the VANETs are the usual approaches to efficiently perform the routing protocol in a vehicular environment. In this context, we previously enhanced the Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing protocol (DSDV) based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Multi-Agent System (MAS). This motivation for the PSO and MAS comes from the behaviors seen in very complicated problems, in particular routing. The main goal of this paper is to carry out a performance evaluation of the enhanced version in comparison to a well-known routing protocol which is the Intelligent Based Clustering Algorithm in VANET (IBCAV). The simulation results show that integrating both the MAS and the PSO is able to guarantee a certain level of quality of service in terms of loss packet, throughput and overhead.
