This document discusses several adaptive routing algorithms for wireless networks and optical networks. It provides 3 key points:
1) Adaptive routing algorithms dynamically change their routing decisions based on changes in network topology and traffic levels. They aim to optimize parameters like distance, number of hops, and estimated transmission time.
2) Several adaptive routing algorithms are described, including centralized and distributed algorithms, algorithms using the A-star and Dijkstra's algorithms, and fault-aware algorithms to route around failed nodes or links.
3) Improved dynamic routing algorithms for elastic optical networks are proposed that select paths based on the number of links or weights accounting for link usage and available spectrum. The algorithms aim to efficiently route requests while
