Development of scalable hybrid switching-based software-defined networking using reinforcement learning by Blose, Max

“…We implement a reinforcement algorithm to randomly explore new routes and discover the most optimal path through the Q-learning algorithm. This primitive and model-free form of reinforcement learning utilizes the Markov Decision Process and the Bellman's equation to reiteratively update Q-values in Q-table for every transition in the network environment state, until Q-function has converged to the best Q-Values. …”
