Using this definition of path, OP, you must realize that there may be exponentially (in the number of vertices + edges in the graph) many paths between two vertices (even in simple graphs).

Concepts which measure the centrality of a vertex in a graph (eccentricity, distance and branch weight) are extended to paths in a graph. Locating paths with minimum eccentricity and distance, ...
