Rationale
• Intelligent packets, called “Ants”, that interact to keep the contents of the routing tables up to date.
• These Ants are only capable of simple stochastic decisions influenced by the availability of previously laid stigmergic, volatile trails.

Goals of Ants
• To reach the “food” (destination), and make a successful return path

Drawbacks
• On encountering multiple stigmergic trails, an Ant will probabilistically choose the route with greatest stigmergic reinforcement.
• Naturally, this will correspond to the ‘fastest’ route to the food.
