We propose cognitive packet networks (CPN) in which intelligent capabilities for routing and flow control are concentrated in the packets, rather than in the nodes and protocols. Cognitive packets within a CPN route themselves. They are assigned goals before entering the network and pursue these goals adaptively. Cognitive packets learn from their own observations about the network and from the experience of other packets with whom they exchange information via mailboxes. Cognitive packets rely minimally on routers. This paper describes CPN and shows how learning can support intelligent behavior of cognitive packets
