Abstract
Networks are ubiquitous in our everyday lives—be it transportation, communication, or social networks. In each of these networks, several nodes (crossings, peers, persons) are connected to each other via edges (streets, cables, friendship). In most cases, one is interested in some solution for moving entities (commodities, messages, information) from one place to another in this network.
