Imagine that you are working on creating a flow for a set of packets in a media
Question:
Imagine that you are working on creating a flow for a set of packets in a media stream, as described in the introduction to this chapter. So you are given a network, G, with a source, s, and sink, t, together with bandwidth constraints on each edge, which indicate the maximum speed that the communication link represented by that edge can support. As mentioned before, your goal is to produce a maximum flow from s to t, respecting the bandwidth constraints on the edges. Suppose now, however, that you also have a bandwidth constraint on each router in the network, which specifies the maximum amount of information, in bits per second, that can pass through that node. Describe an efficient algorithm for finding a maximum flow in the network, G, that satisfies the bandwidth capacity constraints on the edges as well as the vertices. What is the running time of your algorithm?
