'''ANts P2P''' is an [[Anonymous P2P|anonymous peer-to-peer]] [[open source]] [[file sharing]] software written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. The software was initially conceived in 2003 to explore the potentials offered by a number of novel routing protocols (ARA,<ref>{{cite web |author=Imed Bouazizi |title=ARA - The Ant-Colony Based Routing Algorithm for MANETs |url=http://dx.doi.org/doi=10.1109/ICPPW.2002.1039715 |accessdate=2010-11-07}}</ref> ants-based routing,<ref>{{cite web |author=M.
