A new book says the way ants do business is similar to the way the Web works. And, therefore, ant behavior may be the key to making it work better. An explanation? Ants know how to get out of the nest, find food and get it back to the nest in the shortest amount of time and in the most efficient way. They mark their trails with a chemical so everyone knows the route, doesn't get lost and doesn't hold up the flow. (Have you ever seen an ant traffic jam?) Some engineers say we should apply that concept to the Internet and traffic data like an ant would. The result would be a more efficient flow of data with fewer jams. Plus, no one has to pay ants any intellectual fees for their concept.
