Principles of Communications Week 5 to Nov 7th/L9

We covered mobile and telephony routing - key interesting idea is Dynamic Alternative Routing, a.k.a. sticky random routing, where the Gibbens paper covers the Max Flow analysis, plus this paper gives the statistical background on the triangle problem.

We then covered (essentially, revision of last years networks) flow and congestion control. There's an important link to control theory here which is covered in the Computer Systems Modeling module next term.
