Abstract

AntNet is a new algorithm for packet routing in communication networks. In AntNet, a group of mobile agents (artificial ants) build paths between pair of nodes, exploring the network concurrently and exchanging data to update routing tables.This work, based in a previous work of the author [3], analyzes AntNet algorithms and proposes improvements, comparing their performance with respect to the original AntNet and other commercial algorithms. Simulation results indicate a better throughput of the improved proposals. So, AntNet and its variant here proposed are promising options for routing in large public networks such as Intemet.
