- This cross-disciplinary work belongs in the realm of “network science” and is one of the first works to examine the role of the transmission medium in epidemic spreading within networks. It shows that the topology plays a secondary role in determining the size of the epidemic while it is the routing algorithm and traffic intensity that determine the epidemic’s survivability and steady-state. It derives a critical path-based threshold below which the epidemic will die, which operators may use to promote/suppress path-based spreading in their networks. It is expected to influence network design/operation in diverse contexts in the future.
