| Description | . A simple mechanism is presented, based on ant-like agents, for routing and load balancing in telecommunications networks, following the initial works of Appleby and Stewart (1994) and Schoonderwoerd et al. (1997). In the present work, agents are very similar to those proposed by Schoonderwoerd et al. (1997), but a r e supplemented with a simplified dynamic programming capability, initially experimented by Gurin (1997) with more complex agents, which is shown to significantly improve the network's relaxation and its response to perturbations. Topic area: Intelligent agents and network management 2 1. Introduction 1.1 Routing in telecommunications networks Routing is a mechanism that allows calls to be transmitted from a source to a destination through a sequence of intermediate switching stations or nodes, because not all points are directly connected: the cost of completely connecting a network becomes prohibitive for more than a few nodes. Routing selects routes that meet the o... |
