E825 - Faster Than Dijkstra? Exploring a New Shortest-Path Algorithm with Bruce Davie

Published: May 1, 2026

Duration: 54:43

Dijkstra’s algorithm is the foundation of shortest path calculations for link state routing protocols. But researchers have developed a new algorithm that improves on this decades-old approach. Today’s Heavy Networking welcomes Dr. Bruce Davie to discuss the potential of this new algorithm to unseat Dijkstra. After thoughtful consideration, and consultation with others, his opinion is...
