Network Optimization Techniques for the Modern WAN

Algorithms | CS | Data Science on Instagram: "Day 4 of saving CS students headaches: Pathfinding algorithms: Dijkstra vs A*. Dijkstra and A* are like two travelers searching for the same destination: 🛣️ Dijkstra explores all possible roads until it finds the shortest path. 🧭 A* uses a heuristic to guess which road is more promising, faster if the guess is good. What's the tradeoff? ✅ Dijkstra: Always optimal, but can be slow. ⚡ A*: Faster, but only optimal if the heuristic is admissible. Appli
