The shortest path problem is solved by many methods. Heuristics offer lower complexity in expense of accuracy. There are many use cases where the lower accuracy is acceptable in return of lower consumption of computing resources. The basic idea of the Ant System is that virtual ants are exploited for finding paths with a specific property, e.g., short distance between physical nodes, in the same way nature guides physical ants.

Flying Ants implements a wireless ad-hoc routing algorithm based upon biologically inspired ant-like agents. The code is suitable for single board computer systems (e.g., soekris boards). It runs in userland and utilizes a threaded raw socket protocol.
