Network flow, also called network analysis or graph theory, is a mathematical problem–solving framework used to determine the maximum flow of materials or information through a network. It is used to optimize the allocation of resources and investigate decision problems. Network flow can be applied to solve many real–world applications such as computer networks, logistics, supply chains, traffic management, optimal routing and production planning. The main concept in network flow is to find the maximum amount of “flow“ (products, data, etc) that can pass through an interconnected network of nodes and edges.
