The mechanism of transferring and routing information in quantum and classical network are basically different. The basic idea and working principle of quantum networks is based on a unique feature of quantum mechanics known as entanglement. Since entanglement generation rate is a key factor for quantum networks it can be considered as a route metric. In this paper, we propose two different protocols for local entanglement routing in a quantum ring network. In the first protocol, local link entanglement rate is considered as a route metric. However, the routing decision in the second protocol is made based on finding the shortest path between source and destination. It is shown that though local link entanglement rate is decisive criterion for routing in the first algorithm, the second algorithm can reach higher end-to-end entanglement rate.
