Swarm intelligence forms the core of a new class of algorithms inspired by the social behavior of insects that live in swarms. Its attractive features include adaptation, robustness and a distributed, decentralized nature, rendering swarm-based algorithms well-suited for routing in wireless or satellite networks, where it is difficult it implement centralized network control. We propose one such routing algorithm, dubbed adaptive swarm-based distributed routing (adaptive-SDR), which is scalable, robust and suitable to handle large amounts of network traffic, while minimizing delay and packet loss.
