Future vehicular networks are expected to deploy shortrange communication technology for inter-vehicle communication. In addition to vehicle-to-vehicle communication,users will be interested in accessing the multimedia-rich Internet from within the vehicular network. This motivates

a compelling application of Co-operative Networking in the

Vehicular Ad-Hoc network where the Ad Hoc network ex-tends and complements the Internet. The broadcast nature of the wireless medium drives us to explore different design

paradigms from the ones used in typical wired settings.
