This work presents a proof-of-concept implementation of a distributed, in-network reinforcement learning (IN-RL) framework for adaptive path selection in programmable networks. By combining Stochastic Learning Automata (SLA) with real-time telemetry data collected via In-Band Network Telemetry (INT), the proposed system enables local, data-driven forwarding decisions that adapt dynamically to congestion conditions. The system is evaluated on a Mininet-based testbed using P4-programmable BMv2 switches, demonstrating how our SLA-based mechanism converges to effective path selections and adapts to shifting network conditions at line rate.
