Abstract
A method of updating probabilistic network routing information is disclosed. A 'backward ant' data packet is received. The backward ant data packet contains information about the quality of a network route, at least a portion of which was selected based on a set of router-probability associations, and through which a 'forward ant' data packet was transmitted. The set, which is associated with a particular destination router for which the forward ant data packet was destined, is updated based on the information.
