HOPNET (Wang, 2007) as a standalone swarm routing protocol for MANETs: ant-colony routing over routing zones, ants hopping between zones. A simulator-agnostic core/ plus the ns-3 contrib module hopnet on swarm-core.
Status: core/ in progress (#5): the intra-zone half (internal ants, IntraRT, neighbour discovery) is written and tested; the inter-zone half and the ns-3 module are next. Every reading follows the fidelity sheet. See AGENTS.md for the plan.
What is planned and in progress here: the issues labelled epic. An epic's open sub-issues carry a priority:* and a model:* label, so a contributor or an AI agent can pick one up (how issues work). The whole org's plan: the roadmap.
