🚨 New preprint!!
Our latest work shows that letting routing strategies self-organize through evolutionary dynamics allows networks to adapt and outperforming any fixed protocol across a wide range of traffic conditions.

When one protocol fits none: Self-organized network routing through evolutionary game dynamics
Packet routing on scale-free networks faces a fundamental trade-off: shortest-path routing is efficient at low demand but funnels traffic through hubs and jams early, whereas congestion-aware routing ...
