A beer graph is an edge-weighted graph G = (V,E,ω) with beer vertices B ⊆ V. A beer path between two vertices s and t of a beer graph is a path that connects s and t and visits at least one vertex in B. The beer distance between two vertices is the weight of a shortest beer path, i.e. a beer path having minimum total weight. A graph indexing...

We propose a simple and practical speed-up technique, which can be combined with every distance vector routing algorithm based on shortest paths, allowing to reduce the total number of messages sent by that algorithm. We combine the new technique with two algorithms known in the literature: DUAL, which is part of CISCO's widely used EIGRP...

We present LFR (Loop Free Routing), a new loop-free distance vector routing algorithm, which is able to update the shortest paths of a distributed network with n nodes in fully dynamic scenarios. If Phi is the total number of nodes affected by a set of updates to the network, and phi is the maximum number of destinations for which a node is...

The problem of finding and updating shortest paths in distributed networks is considered crucial in today's practical applications. In the recent past, there has been a renewed interest in devising new efficient distance-vector algorithms as an attractive alternative to link-state solutions for large-scale Ethernet networks, in which...

The problem of finding best routes in road networks can be solved by applying Dijkstra's shortest paths algorithm. Unfortunately, road networks deriving from real-world applications are huge yielding unsustainable times to compute shortest paths. For this reason, great research efforts have been done to accelerate Dijkstra's algorithm on road...
