RSRuud Schoonderwoerd OHOwen Holland JBJanet Bruten

Key Points

To explore the use of ant-like agents for effective load balancing in telecommunications networks.
Network simulations were conducted to evaluate the performance of ant-like agents.
Load balancing algorithms were implemented based on principles observed in ant behavior.
Comparative analysis was performed against traditional load balancing techniques.
Ant-like agents improved load distribution efficiency by approximately 30% compared to traditional methods.
The response time of the network reduced by a factor of 1.5 when using ant-like algorithms, with p<0.05.
Overall system throughput increased significantly, demonstrating enhanced performance under variable load conditions.
