edge_load_centrality#

edge_load_centrality(G, cutoff=False)[source]#

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.
