edge_load_centrality

edge_load_centrality(G, cutoff=False)

Compute edge load.

WARNING: This concept of edge load has not been analysed or discussed outside of NetworkX that we know of. It is based loosely on load_centrality in the sense that it counts the number of shortest paths which cross each edge. This function is for demonstration and testing purposes.

Parameters:

Ggraph

A networkx graph

cutoffbool, optional (default=False)

If specified, only consider paths of length <= cutoff.

Returns:

A dict keyed by edge 2-tuple to the number of shortest paths

which use that edge. Where more than one path is shortest

the count is divided equally among paths.
