Within the extent of recent research activity in the field of vehicular networking, notwithstanding the quantity of simulative studies carried out on protocols performance, the impact of vehicular mobility characterization has been often overlooked. Realistic mobility models are seldom employed, and when used, no comment is usually provided on the different effects that such models have on the results with respect to simpler mobility descriptions. In this paper, we address this issue, and analyze the impact that various levels of details in vehicular mobility modeling have on the simulation of networking protocols.
