Abstract :
We study the performance of ant routing for static and dynamic network topologies. We also compare the performance of ant routing with AODV and DSR for ad hoc networks. The simulations show that the ant routing algorithm performs well for static topologies. However, the routing overhead in ant routing is more than AODV and DSR. Therefore, ant routing performs worse than AODV and DSR in ad hoc networks because of the limited capacity and restrictions on the buffer size. Moreover, with mobility, a large number of data packets in ant routing experience loops that degrade the end-to-end performance.
