Abstract	A network is an abstract structure composed of a collection of entities, often termed as nodes or junctions, connected by pathways, known as links or connections. Each link functions as a conduit between two nodes, representing a relationship or interaction. Networks can be categorized based on the characteristics of their components and connections. A directed network, or digraph, consists of links with a defined direction, indicating movement from one node to another. In contrast, an undirected network has bidirectional links, suggesting mutual relationships between connected nodes. In a weighted network, connections are assigned numerical values, often denoting parameters such as cost, strength, or capacity, whereas unweighted networks simply illustrate connectivity without additional quantitative properties. Network labeling is a method where unique markers, frequently symbolized by colors, are allocated to nodes or links following specific constraints. The primary objective is to ensure that adjacent components do not share the same marker. This method is extensively utilized in real-world applications, including task distribution, dispute management, and strategic planning. For example, it is employed in timetable arrangements where overlapping events need to be prevented, spectrum assignment in wireless systems to reduce signal disruption, and even in logic-based games like Sudoku. The chromatic index of a network defines the minimum number of labels needed for proper labeling. Depending on its configuration, a network might only require two labels (making it bipartite) or more. One commonly applied technique for network labeling is the greedy method, which sequentially assigns the smallest available marker that has not been used for adjacent nodes. Although this provides a quick and simple solution, it does not always yield the optimal number of labels required. Determining the most efficient labeling pattern, referred to as the minimum chromatic index, is a computationally intricate challenge classified as NP-complete, meaning the complexity rises significantly with larger networks. Despite this computational difficulty, network labeling has valuable implementations in various fields. In software development, it aids in memory management within compilers to enhance processing efficiency. In communication systems, it helps avoid frequency clashes by allocating suitable channels. Furthermore, it is crucial in resource planning, ensuring that tasks and assets are assigned efficiently without overlaps. This paper addresses on blocking huge number of threats using context free graph coloring than basic graph coloring.
