Swarm Intelligence based Routing Algorithm

Swarm intelligence is a field that emerged from biological research, sometimes referred to as an group of individual agents (example - ants, bees, termites, bacteria, fish, birds) for the optimization. Swarm intelligence has one of its applications in network routing. Due to the network complexity it should be self organized, self configured such as ants in nature are self organized and are adaptive to changes, this kind of system is referred with the term swarm intelligence .In this review paper we have explained the routing algorithms for wired and wireless communication based on swarm intelligence such as ANT-NET , ANT BASED CONTROL (ABC) and MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK (MANET). This paper has done comparative analysis of different network routing approaches, in swarm intelligence based on ant colony optimization routing algorithms which increase the performance of network example: end-to-end delay and delivery ratio, and the reliability of wireless communication.
