....communication between ants, a phenomenon known as stigmergy. Its end effect is the manifestation of behavior far more complex than expected by such simple organisms. There already exist many successful adaptations of ant behavior to network control [1 11] with the most prominent being AntNet [2,3], and Ant based Control (ABC) 4] An overview of swarm based algorithms can be found in [12] The application of AntNet to a satellite network is discussed in [13] These and the other existing algorithms lack a number of important features, namely scalability, full utilization of the network ....

....all the neighbors of the nodes are included in the next hop list, while in the local routing table only the nodes that belong to the same colony are included as possible next hops. The probabilities of the routing tables are updated in a manner that borrows some features from the AntNet al..gorithm [2,3], while adding significant improvements. 1. At regular intervals, each node sends one local ant to every destination within the colony, and only one colony ant for each outside colony. 2. The local ants choose next hops according to the local table probabilities, while the colony ants choose ....

However, ant inspired routing algorithms were developed and tested in real network environments by British Telecomm and NTT for both wired and wireless networks with superior results [13, 56, 18, 14, 48, 50, 11, 21].

Self configuration based on local measured parameters takes some inspiration from biological systems, in particular the models of ant colony behavior [4].

Swarm based routing algorithms [16 42] derive from recent understandings of basic principles underlying the operation of biological swarms, such as ants or honeybees. These swarms, often containing thousands or tens of thousands of elements, routinely perform extraordinarily complex tasks of global optimization and resource allocation ....

....in the future. As stated, these concepts are immediately applicable to adaptive scalable routing algorithms and bandwidth allocation, as well as other task resource allocation tasks. A very successful example of swarm based routing algorithms is the AntNet adaptive agent based routing algorithm [ 16 27], which has outperformed the best known routing algorithms on several packetswitched communications networks. For telephone communication networks, there also exists a very successful application of swarm intelligence via Ant Based Control (ABC) 28 30] We present an overview of the mechanics of ....

.... mobile agents roaming the network could search for information, meet and interact with other agents that roam the network or remain bound to a particular machine. An agent manifests four distinct characteristics, namely, Intelligence, Communication, Autonomy, and Mobility [Minar et al. 1998, Di Caro Dorigo 1997] Intelligence is the ability of the agent to adapt itself and or change its environment based on the information available to it. Communication is the property of an agent whereby it coordinates with other agents residing on the same node in exchanging data, making decisions to merge itself ....

....paradigm can be applied to many intrinsically parallel network application. A large number of applications in communication networks have been identi ed that can bene t from an agentbased approach. Some examples on the system level include load balancing, network management and network routing [Di Caro Dorigo 1997, Minar et al. 1999] In this paper we apply the agent paradigm to network routing. Most of the work in agent based network routing is based on insect colonies. It relies on the principles that individual insects exhibit a simple behavior while collective communities exhibit complex problem ....

....not least, mobility is the property that makes agents conducive for distributed systems and network applications, as it allows the agent to migrate among the constituent nodes of the environment. Most of the work in agent based network routing is biologically inspired and based on insect colonies (Di Caro and Dorigo 1997; White 1997) It relies on the principles that individual insects exhibit a simple behavior while collective communities of these insects exhibit complex problem solving capabilities. Considerable research has been conducted in mapping the foraging activities of ants to routing and network ....

....Intelligence (White 1997; White and Pagurek 1998) Such an approach exploits the concept of multiple colonies of agents coexisting and in some cases coordinating with each other working towards independent goals. AntNet applies the idea of deploying agents for routing in packet switched networks (Di Caro and Dorigo 1997). The algorithm generates mobile agents (arti cial ants) at regular intervals at di erent nodes in the network. These agents select a random destination in the network; traverse the network to reach the destination and on their way back to the source node collect routing information. Although ....

....path (such as the shortest path) and send out the message. The basic assumption of this technique is that the network is stationary. In a faulty or mobile network, searching for the optimal path using this conventional approach will become very dicult. Ant routing (or ant like routing method) 5] [7], 32] 33] 34] 35] is a recent proposed mobile agent based network routing algorithm particular for use in these environments. The idea of ant routing algorithm mimics the path searching process of an ant. Once a request for sending a message is received from a server, the server will ....

Swarm intelligence exhibits emergent behavior wherein simple interactions of autonomous agents, with simple primitives, give rise to a complex behavior that has not been specified explicitly [8] In Section II, we give an overview of existing routing algorithms, including their individual ....

.... path by utilizing other heuristics [2] Minimal routing can further be subdivided into optimal routing and shortest path routing.Intheformer,theobjective is to optimize the mean flow of the entire network; while in shortest path routing the goal is to find the minimum cost path between two nodes [1,7]. Another class of routing algorithms is one where the routing scheme guarantees specified QoS requirements pertaining to delay and bandwidth. These algorithms are usually message based, i.e. they find a feasible path satisfying the QoS constraints based on an exchange of messages between the ....

In the following section we will show how arti cial ants can be put to work in an algorithmic framework so that they can be applied to discrete optimization problems. In reality, some real ants have a similar behavior: they deposit more pheromone in case of richer food sources. Usually, ....

....path then it is the rst to deposit pheromone and to bias the search of forthcoming ants. It turns out that in geographically distributed problems, network problems in our case, implicit solution evaluation based on the DPL e ect plays an important role. In fact, as it was shown for example in [12, 13] where explicit solution evaluation was switched o by setting the amount of pheromone deposited by ants to a constant value independent of the cost of the path built by the ant, it is possible to nd good solutions to network problems just exploiting the DPL e ect. Quite obviously, it has also ....

....and in general in any problem where the characteristics of the problem change in unpredictable ways during problem solution, is that there is no simple way to evaluate a solution and therefore to decide how much pheromone ants should deposit. A way out to this problem, which is used by AntNet [12, 13], is to use ants to learn online a model of the network status that can be used to evaluate how good the solutions found by ants are. Number of ants. The exact number of ants to be used is a parameter that, most of the times, must be set experimentally. Fortunately, ACO algorithms seem to be ....
