The entanglement swap primitive facilitates the establishment of shared entanglement between non-adjacent nodes in a quantum network. This shared entanglement can subsequently be used for executing quantum communication protocols. The fundamental problem in quantum networks is to determine a path for entanglement swapping in response to demands for entanglement sharing between pairs of nodes. We investigate variants of this problem in this work.
