Paraconsistent logic (PL) was used to create an algorithmic structure whose main property is to accept contradiction. Moreover, a computational structure, the denominated paraconsistent data analyzer (PDAPAL2v), was constructed to perform routing management in communication networks. Direct comparisons of PDAPAL2v with a classical logic system that simulates routing conditions were made in the laboratory. In the conventional system, the paraconsistent algorithms were considered as binary logic gates, and in the tests, the same adjustment limits of PDAPAL2v were applied. Using a database with controlled insertion of noise, we obtained an efficacy of 97% in the detection of deteriorated packets with PDAPAL2v and 72% with the conventional simulation system. Functional tests were carried out, showing that PDAPAL2v is able to assess the conditions and degradation of links and perform the analysis and correlation of various inputs and variables, even if the signals have contradictory values. From practical tests in the laboratory, the proposed method represents a new way of managing and controlling communication network routes with good performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21124219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,20]],"date-time":"2021-06-20T21:50:15Z","timestamp":1624225815000},"page":"4219","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Paraconsistent Annotated Logic Algorithms Applied in Management and Control of Communication Network Routes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9715-8928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o In\u00e1cio","family":"Da Silva Filho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2088-9065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jair Minoro","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"},{"name":"Graduate Program in Production Engineering, Paulista University, Jos\u00e9 Maria Whitaker Avenue, 320, S\u00e3o Paulo 04057-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro de Lima","family":"Marreiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angel Antonio Gonzalez","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Production Engineering, Paulista University, Jos\u00e9 Maria Whitaker Avenue, 320, S\u00e3o Paulo 04057-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cl\u00e1udio Rodrigo","family":"Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Rocco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7508-9404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyghor Miranda","family":"C\u00f4rtes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mauricio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o","family":"Mario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcos Tadeu Tavares","family":"Pacheco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorot\u00e9a Vilanova","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maur\u00edcio Fontoura","family":"Blos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Paraconsistent Logic, Santa Cecilia University, Oswaldo Cruz Street, 288, Santos 11045-100, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dignum, F., and Greaves, M.
