Comparing specifically, we can see that the time taken to
transfer 100 Megabytes of data varies by approximately 60
seconds. Furthermore, on average the number of packets being
transferred is hovering between 80 and 100 packets, except
for the dip down to 20 when both priority and congested flow
paths are on the same path, which is significantly greater in
Figure 3 which is purely random. The drop in packet transfer
significantly lessens with time a s well, which shows that the
RL algorithm is able to learn which path is congested and
actively avoid that, further proving our algorithm. In this case,
the RL algorithm is able to correctly choose the path 750
seconds into the data transfer, which is completed by around
1000 seconds, meaning if the data transfer was for a longer
period of time, we would have seen far superior transfer times
compared to random path selection.
