From the figure below, use Dijkstra
Navigating the labyrinthine world of networks is akin to finding one's way through a maze. Just as we need the shortest route to traverse a maze efficiently, in networking, we seek the most efficient path to transfer data. Dijkstra's algorithm, conceived by Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956, emerges as a shining beacon to guide us through this maze. This algorithm helps determine the shortest path from a designated starting vertex to all other vertices in a weighted graph. The image you've presented is a weighted, directed graph, which serves as a symbolic representation of a network of routers. Let's explore how to employ Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path from Router A to every other router in the network.
