Routing in dynamic network based on the fuzzy knowledge exchange among multi-agents

Many existing routing mechanisms are awkward in a highly dynamic network environment. By proposing a cooperative model of multiagents based on fuzzy knowledge and a basal algorithm for routing computation, we apply a multiple mobile agent cooperating system to dynamic network routing. Some key factors of the system are discussed in the context. With the help of a simulative dynamic network and experiments, we analyze the performance-overhead characteristic of the system and make a comparison among cooperation strategies. The results show that the proposed theoretic model and algorithm are suitable for dynamic network routing and able to improve the response capability of the routing system.
