Abstract: The future mesh networks will not be limited to the indoor and outdoor networks. In the era of IoT, everything is connected to the network. The future of the mesh network will be defined as mesh network of moving things where each node of the mesh network have high speed mobility. Again they can easily join or leave the network without affecting the network. Here the high speed mobility nodes represent vehicles and communication between these vehicles in the form of mesh topology creates a Vehicular Mesh (VMesh). Here all the nodes work as a standalone Access Point (AP) which are well capable of receiving and transmitting data. This study discusses about the different protocols, research challenges and current ongoing research which will further help to explore the ways for new innovation for efficiency and betterment in the field of Vehicular Mesh Network (VMN).
