Abstract

Team-partitioned, opaque-transition reinforcement learning (TPOT-RL) is a distributed reinforcement learning technique that allows a team of independent agents to learn a collaborative task. TPOT-RL was first successfully applied to simulated robotic soccer. This paper demonstrates that TPOT-RL is general enough to apply to a completely different domain, namely network packet routing. Empirical results in an abstract network routing simulator indicate that agents situated at individual nodes can learn to efficiently route packets through a network that exhibits changing traffic patterns, based on locally observable sensations.

                  learning (TPOT-RL) is a distributed reinforcement
                  learning technique that allows a team of independent
                  agents to learn a collaborative task.  TPOT-RL was
                  first successfully applied to simulated robotic
                  soccer.  This paper demonstrates that TPOT-RL is
                  general enough to apply to a completely different
                  domain, namely network packet routing.  Empirical
                  results in an abstract network routing simulator
                  indicate that agents situated at individual nodes
                  can learn to efficiently route packets through a
                  network that exhibits changing traffic patterns,
                  based on locally observable sensations.
