Abstract

Routing is an important issue in designing modern communication environments as well as in working of distributed systems. This paper concerns a concept of using Reinforcement Learning in the case of routing in computer networks. For this problem we propose a multi-agent approach called Modified Q-learning Routing. The proposed idea is compared with actually working solutions: distance-vector and deterministic routing. The properties and some experiments are presented, and it is shown that the proposed algorithm achieves better results than its opponents.
