Oops. Be it known that I was not the one who added the ?v=1 to the end of the link to avoid the dupe detector. (I did, however, steal this link straight from /r/technology though.)

Prior-art :) - Just kiddin, as TCP is not patented as far as I know... but if it happened to be - would've that come as prior-art... coming from the ants?

(But then one have to prove that ants did that from long time ago, and did not actually learned by reverse engineering our backbones).

This is not news. There were talks on swarm intelligence when I was in college over a decade ago, and it wasn't new then, either.

yep. Ant-protocols have been studied to death. Not sure what is new here.
