What Is Routing?
Routing is the act of moving information across a network from a source to a destination.

Ants & routing
15
Ants dropping different pheromones used to compute “shortest” path from source to destination(s);Advantages:
more flexible adaptation to failures and network congestion; use only local knowledge for routing and avoid costly communication of state to all network nodes.

AntNet algorithm At regular interval δt,a forward agent is launched from
source toward the destination. At each node,the agent keeps the memory of the path
and the traffic condition. At each node, the next hop is selected from among all
those neighboring nodes which have not yet been visited.

AntNet algorithm (cont.)
If a cycle is detected, the ant memory is popped out of stack.
When reaches destination, it generates a backward ant, transfers its stack to it and dies.
Backward ant takes the same path back using the ant stack transferred by the forward ant.
When a backward ant reaches a node k, Mk and Routing table for destination d is updated.
