We consider the problem of information flow in networks. In particular, we relate the question whether a set of desired connections can be accommodated in a network to the problem of finding a point on a variety defined over a suitable field. This approach lends itself to the derivation of a number of theorems concerning the feasibility of a communication scenario involving failures.
