The Internet access from vehicular networks is gaining great interest from the research community. It is vital to constantly connect to the Internet for stably receiving cloud services on the road. Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing resources and services on demand based on the Internet. Proper Internet gateway need to be discovered and selects in an appropriate way to deliver the information and data services to the VANET users. This paper proposes a cloud- assisted gateway discovery mechanism for getting stable connection to the Internet with considering loading parameter of the gateway. The performance of the system based on packet delivery ratio is investigated. The packet delivery ratio of both the mobile gateways (MG) and stationary gateways (SG) is shown and compared in the simulation result.
