Abstract
This paper presents an agent-based model that performs the management of
traffic flows in a network with the purpose of observing in a simulation
of distinctive congestion scenarios how the automation of the monitoring
task improves the network performance. The model implements a
decision-making algorithm to determine the path that the data flows will
follow to reach their destination, according to the results of the
negotiation between the agents. In addition, we explain how the behavior
of the network is affected by its topology. The aim of this paper is to
propose an agent-based model that simplifies the management of the
traffic flows in a communications network towards the automaticity of
the system.
