AntNet: A Mobile Agents Approach to Adaptive Routing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces AntNet, a new routing algorithm for communications networks. AntNet is an adaptive, distributed, mobile-agents-based algorithm which was inspired by recent work on the ant colony metaphor. We apply AntNet to a datagram network and compare it with both static and adaptive state-of-the-art routing algorithms. We ran experiments for various paradigmatic temporal and spatial tra c distributions. AntNet showed both very good performance and robustness under all the experimental conditions with respect to its competitors.

متن کاملAntNet: Routing Algorithm for Data Networks based on Mobile Agents
AntNet is an innovative algorithm for packet routing in communication networks, originally proposed by M. Dorigo and G. Di Caro, in 1997. In AntNet, a group of mobile agents (or artificial ants) build paths between pair of nodes, exploring the network concurrently and exchanging obtained information to update the routing tables. This work analyzes AntNet and proposes improvements that were impl...
