Abstract
Few problems in the field of computer communication networks have received as early and extensive attention as the routing problem. The reason for this is twofold. First there have been numerous studies of flow problems in network theory that provide a basis for modeling the routing problem in a mathematically tractable way and, second, routing has proved to be a necessary and fundamental design choice for the operation of message- or packet- switched networks. In its simplest form the statement of the routing problem is as follows. Consider, as in Figure 12.1, a node that receives messages from an incoming link and has a choice of forwarding them via one of two outgoing links.
