Re-routing with Ant Colony Optimization for Information-Centric Networks

Abstract

To solve network-related problems such as communication failures and network delays, a new network technology called an information-centric network (ICN) has been studied. However, there are various problems to be solved to develop ICNs, and they have not been put into practical use. In addition, research on ICNs has not considered re-routing, which is the reuse of routing information left by other users. In this study, we propose a method of re-routing in an ICN with ant colony optimization by reusing routing information to achieve efficient routing.
