Congestion Control in Computer Networks

Abstract:  Congestion is one of the most important challenges in computer network communication. In this talk, we will learn what network congestion is, delve into its causes, and examine its impact on network performance. We will also discuss the principles of congestion control and how TCP congestion control works.
