Honey bee colonies demonstrate robust adaptive efficient agent-based communications and task allocations without centralized controls – desirable features in network design. This book introduces a multipath routing algorithm for packet-switched telecommunication networks based on techniques observed in bee colonies. The algorithm, BeeHive, is dynamic, simple, efficient, robust and flexible, and it represents an important step towards intelligent networks that optimally manage resources. The author guides the reader in a survey of nature-inspired routing protocols and communication techniques observed in insect colonies. He then offers the design of a scalable framework for nature-inspired routing algorithms, and he examines a practical application using real networks of Linux routers. He also utilizes formal techniques to analytically model the performance of nature-inspired routing algorithms. Introduces a protocol engineering framework that enables the researchers to implement a bioinspired routing protocol inside Linux and then test it on real-world networks INDICE: Introduction.- A Comprehensive Survey of Nature-Inspired Routing Protocols.- From the Wisdom of the Hive to Routing in Telecommunication Networks.- A Scalability Framework for Nature-Inspired Routing Algorithms.- BeeHive in Real Networks of Linux Routers.- A Formal Framework for Analyzing the Behavior of BeeHive.- An Efficient Nature-Inspired Security Framework for BeeHive.- Bee-Inspired Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks.- Conclusions and Future Work.- App. A, Software Protocol Engineering for Linux Routers.- References.
