Principles of Congestion Control Congestion: informally: “too many sources sending too much data too fast for network to handle” different from flow control! Manifestations (symptoms): lost packets (buffer overflow at routers) long delays (queueing in router buffers) a top-10 problem! Causes/costs of congestion: scenario 1 Assumptions: two senders, two receivers one router, infinite buffers no retransmission C - link capacity large delays when congested (nearing link capacity; at maximum achievable throughput) Causes/costs of congestion: scenario 2 one router, finite buffers
