Congestion Control in Computer Networks
Congestion control is a vital aspect of computer networks that aims to manage and prevent congestion, which occurs when network resources are unable to handle the volume of traffic being transmitted.
As a result of congestion, network performance can be degraded, packet loss can increase, and data transmission can be delayed. Congestion control mechanisms are used to ensure efficient and reliable network communication.
The term congestion control refers to a set of methods and techniques used to ensure optimal performance and avoid network congestion in computer networks. It involves regulating the flow of data and managing network resources.
