Resumen de AntNet: 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 pairs of nodes, exploring the network concurrently and exchanging obtained information to update the routing tables. This work analyzes AntNet and proposes improvements that were implemented, comparing their performance with respect to the original AntNet and other commercial routing algorithms like RIP and OSPF.
