[Solved]Consider Undirected Graph G V E Represents Computer Network Large Organization Node Graph Q37280150

Consider an undirected graph G = (V, E) that represents thecomputer network of a large organization. A node in the graphrepresents an individual computer or a router. An edge between twonodes represents a physical connection between the two devices. Notevery pair of nodes has an edge between them. Additionally, eachedge is labeled with a bandwidth. This value represent the numberof megabits per second that can be sent through this physicalconnection.

When a message is sent from computer A to computer B in thisnetwork, it must be sent along a path in the graph. The bandwidthof this path is the bandwidth of the edge along this path that hasthe smallest bandwidth. (I.e., that edge is the bottleneck alongthis path.)

Do the following:
a. Devise and describe an algorithm that finds apath with the largest bandwidth between two computers on thisnetwork.

b. Argue that your algorithm does indeed findthe path with the largest possible bandwidth.

N.B.: it is not true that every sub-path of a maximum bandwidthpath is itself a maximum bandwidth path. (Why?)

Hint: use this optimal substructure property instead: if a pathhas a bandwidth of t, then every subpath has a bandwidth of atleast t.

c. State and briefly justify the running timeof your algorithm.
