AntNet

AntNet is an algorithm inspired by the behavior of ants finding paths to food. In computer networking, it helps data packets navigate efficiently across networks. Just like ants leave pheromone trails to mark successful routes, AntNet allows packets to "learn" the best paths based on previous travels. When a packet sends data, it observes traffic conditions, adapting its route to reduce congestion and optimize speed. This decentralized approach enhances the reliability and efficiency of data transmission, making it suitable for dynamic environments where network conditions can change frequently.
