Abstract

Constructing maximum bandwidth paths has been a basic operation in the study of network routing, in particular in the recent study of network QoS routing. In the literature, it has been proposed that a maximum bandwidth path be constructed by a modified Dijkstra's algorithm or by a modified Bellman-Ford algorithm. In this short note. we show that maximum bandwidth paths can be constructed by a modified Kruskal's algorithm. We demonstrate that this approach is simpler, easier in implementation, more flexible, and faster than the previously proposed algorithms.
