AntNet: Routing Algorithm for Data Networks based on Mobile Agents
Benjamı́n Barán, R. Sosa · INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL · 2001
"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 betweenpair of nodes, exploring the network concurrently and exchanging obtained information to update the routingtables. This work analyzes AntNet and proposes improvements that were implemented, comparing theirperformance with respect to the original AntNet and other commercial routing algorithms like RIP and OSPF"
