P2P Network Load Balancing Using Ant-based Load Balancing Algorithm
A load balancing method for peer-to-peer networks inspired by ant colonies. 'Ants' explore the network to discover candidate nodes and move load from overloaded to underloaded peers.

How the P2P Network Load Balancing Using Ant-based Load Balancing Algorithm works
- The network topology, number of nodes, mobility and traffic are defined in a TCL or C++ script.
- The existing protocol is simulated and its trace file recorded.
- The proposed improvement is implemented and simulated under the same conditions.
- Trace files are analysed with AWK scripts and the results are plotted as graphs for comparison.

Computer & IT viva questions on this project
What is the aim of the P2P Network Load Balancing Using Ant-based Load Balancing Algorithm project?
A load balancing method for peer-to-peer networks inspired by ant colonies. 'Ants' explore the network to discover candidate nodes and move load from overloaded to underloaded peers.
Explain the working of your project in short.
The network topology, number of nodes, mobility and traffic are defined in a TCL or C++ script. The existing protocol is simulated and its trace file recorded. The proposed improvement is implemented and simulated under the same conditions. Trace files are analysed with AWK scripts and the results are plotted as graphs for comparison.
What parameters did you measure in the simulation?
Packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput, packet loss and energy consumption, compared between the existing protocol and the proposed one.
What is the difference between proactive and reactive routing?
Proactive protocols (DSDV, OLSR) keep routes to all nodes updated at all times. Reactive protocols (AODV, DSR) find a route only when data needs to be sent, which saves overhead in mobile networks.
Which SDLC model did you follow?
We followed an iterative (incremental) model: requirements and a basic design first, then modules built and tested one by one, with the guide's feedback after each review. It suits a project where requirements become clearer as we build.
How did you test the project?
Unit testing of each module, integration testing of the complete flow and system testing with real inputs. Test cases with expected and actual results are listed in the report, including invalid inputs.
What are the limitations and future scope?
The current version is tested on a limited dataset or number of users. Future work includes deploying on the cloud, adding more features or languages, improving accuracy with more data and building a mobile version.
