ARPANET Routing Algorithm Improvements, Volume 2
ARPANET Routing Algorithm Improvements, Volume 2 is a 1982 technical report from Bolt Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Massachusetts, prepared for the US defense research community and catalogued by the Defense Technical Information Center. Its four pictures are simple line diagrams of network routing: three show flow paths descending across a bowl-shaped surface toward an optimal minimum, and one plots network variables against a performance metric axis. A designer could borrow the clean wireframe bowl and dashed contour lines as a schematic style for diagrams of optimisation or data paths.
