Abstract

The quickest path problem arises when transmitting a given amount of data between two given nodes of a network, a lead time and a capacity (per unit of time) being assigned to each arc in the network. In this paper the problem is regarded as a bicriteria path problem, allowing the use of a very efficient algorithm which solves the quickest path problem for all possible values of the amount of data that has to be transmitted.
