Abstract: The article describes a “native” algorithm for getting packet forwarding decision, based on considering a network to be an ionic gas. Therefore necessity for the information becomes a field intensity, with distribution function gradient showing the best forwarding way to bring the system to a minimal energy state and all the nodes having an equal information set. The proposed algorithm can be optimized on any of function parameters versus metrics only in classic routing algorithm.
