AntNet Algorithm on ENSC427: COMMUNICATION NETWORKS SPRING 2011

"One of the implementations for routing in MANET is Antnet, first developed by Lavina Jain and later updated by Richardson Lima[1]. Inspired by the foraging behaviour of ants when they search for food and the swarm intelligence to the optimized path between a food source and colony, each node in a MANET stores routing information for the neighbouring nodes and their usage as pheromone values and routes incoming packets to the path with the highest pheromone value. However, during initialization and route discovery phase, all the pheromone values are set equal and nodes route incoming packets randomly until the pheromone value converges to the optimum values.
