routing problems
Routing problems refer to challenges in determining the most efficient paths for data or goods to travel from one point to another. These issues arise in various fields, including computer networks, logistics, and transportation. The goal is to minimize costs, time, or distance while considering constraints like traffic, capacity, and delivery windows.
In computer networks, routing problems involve directing data packets through interconnected devices to reach their destination. Algorithms, such as Dijkstra's algorithm or A* search, are often used to find optimal routes. In logistics, companies face routing problems when planning delivery routes for trucks to ensure timely and cost-effective service.
