You have a network of connected hardware components, where each edge means a route of communication between two hardware components (nodes). The network was constructed to represent the graph below:
The datasheet of the hardware components says that once configured for a given number of communication routes, if more than 40% of these communications become broken, the component will likely fail to maintain the other routes.
Knowing that you have two new spare hardware components (that will not fail for a long time) and, that soon in the future, you expect a failure in any of the hardware components, which components would you exchange for a spare component to mitigate the impact of a failure?
- 3 and 11
- 4 and 3
- 11 and 4
- 4 and 9
- None of the above.
