In this paper we initiate an approach that deals with the problem of calculating average properties of messages traveling on networks, by employing concepts and methods that are used for the study of the many-body problem in the field of physics. We set up a framework that simplifies enormously the problem and, through a concrete example, we show how it can be applied to a broad class of networks and protocols.
In this note, we propose an exegesis of the Maxwell equations for electromagnetism. We begin with an analogy between the homogeneous Maxwell equations and the equations needed to describe the vorticity field of an incompressible inviscid fluid. We suggest that the inhomogeneous equations are analogous to two equations valid in turbulent hydrodynamics. Once the analogy is completed we give the mechanical analogue of the Poynting vector and we explain the influence of a long solenoid on the motion of a charged particle.
