European Telecom Consortium Tests Ant-Inspired Self-Healing Network Routing

The consortium demonstrated distributed telecom routing methods based on pheromone-style path reinforcement and stigmergy.

The work is notable because it applies swarm coordination principles directly to resilient communications infrastructure, where decentralized adaptation can improve network recovery under congestion or outages.
