In the last decade, the OSPF routing protocol has proven its robustness, but it also has some major drawbacks. It reacts quite slowly to network changes, and load balancing is limited to paths with equal cost (ECMP). In this paper, we present our implementation and evaluation of an alternative: AntNet [1]. AntNet is a distributed shortest-path algorithm based on the principles of Ant Colony Optimization that takes care of load balancing in a very natural way.
