Question: The figure below shows the nodes ( A I ) and capacities ( labelled on arcs in packages / day ) of a shipping network.

The figure below shows the nodes (AI) and capacities (labelled on arcs in packages/day) of a shipping network. The firm would like to know how many packages per day can flow from node A to node I.
The figure shows nodes from A to I and capacities between the nodes in packages per day of a shipping network. Between nodes A and B the capacity is of 20 terabytes per second. Between nodes B and D the capacity is of 11 terabytes per second. Between nodes D and G the capacity is of 23 terabytes per second. Between nodes G and I the capacity is of 14 terabytes per second. Between nodes B and E the capacity is of 21 terabytes per second. Between nodes A and C the capacity is of 25 terabytes per second. Between nodes C and F the capacity is of 14 terabytes per second. Between nodes F and H the capacity is of 14 terabytes per second. Between nodes H and I the capacity is of 10 terabytes per second. Between nodes C and E the capacity is of 14 terabytes per second. Between nodes E and I the capacity is of 13 terabytes per second.
Note: This question requires Solver.
Formulate the problem in Solver and find the optimal solution. At maximum capacity, what will be the flow between nodes B and E?
