👉 Girths are a term used in the field of computer science and network theory to describe the minimum number of edges that must be traversed on a graph before any edge can be added or removed. The term is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, who introduced the concept of girth for polygons. In computer networks, girths are often used in the context of routing protocols and network design algorithms to ensure that edges are not added or deleted too quickly, which can lead to congestion
