A routing system using a neural network.

摘要

A routing system in a multi media integrated network (10) is provided for transmitting various media such as voice, image and data in a packet format. The respective node (11) forming the integrated network output the packet in the optimum output direction from the self-node so that conditions required by various media and reliability of communication are satisfied. The respective node (11) comprises an inter connection type neural network (12) for determining the packet output direction from the self-node and the external stimulus input means (13) for outputting the external stimulus to a neuron in said neural network in response to the present state of the integrated network, such as a packet delay time and a packet loss ratio for the respective link, a condition required by media such as an allowable packet loss ratio. Therefore, the packet is output in an optimum direction which is adaptive to the present state of the integrated network and which satisfies a condition required by media.
