STUDY AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF ANTHOCNET AND BEEHOCNET NATURE INSPIRED MULTIHOP ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR EFFECTIVE ROUTING IN MANET

There are multiple algorithms and protocols which are present in MANeT but no one is perfect for each situation because of the presence of high topology changes and dynamicity of number of nodes. That’s the reason of opting biological algorithm like Ant based or Bee based algorithms which are swarm intelligence based nature inspired algorithms which finds out the best route as per the real time status of network. In communications network research, there is currently an increasing interest for the paradigm of autonomic computing. The idea is that networks are becoming more and more complex and that it is desirable that they can self-organize and self-configure, adapting to new situations in terms of traffic, services, network connectivity, etc. To support this new paradigm, future network algorithms should be robust, work in a distributed way, be able to observe changes in the network, and adapt to them.
