This letter presents a unified approach for the fundamental relationship between structure and function in flow networks by solving analytically the voltages in a resistor network, transforming the network structure to an effective all-to-all topology, and then measuring the resultant flows. Moreover, it defines a way to study the structural resilience of the graph and to detect possible communities.
