Being connected to the internet is second nature to us. But what happens if the network that connects us breaks down? To prevent such a catastrophe, we need to understand how the network behaves. Find out how we can model and simulate a 5G network!
If, after reading the title, your immediate response is to shout "1/6-th", then you have correctly answered the question. Well done! However, in this article we will focus on the meaning of this question. What exactly is this "chance" of which you've just exclaimed it equals 1/6-th?
If I give you a set of nodes, plus a way to find the distance between two nodes, how can you find all connections between these nodes as efficiently as possible?
This article discusses a fun puzzle that illustrates a beautiful open problem in this area: queueing theorists are trying to figure out how the structure of a network impacts its ability to distribute work among the nodes.
