Read the case study and answer the accompanied questions.

Case Study:

Congestion control refers to the techniques and mechanism that can either prevent
congestion, before it happens, or remove congestion, after it has happened. In general, we
can divide congestion control mechanism into two broad categories: Open loop congestion
control (Prevention) and Closed-loop Congestion Control (Removal).

R1

Network 1

Questions

1 In how many way congestion control techniques can be applied? Explain.

2.In the given TCP network, R1 and R2 are two routers and network 1 and network 2 are the part of this TCP network. The input data rate
of router R1 is 7 mb/s and the output data rate of the same router is 6.53 mb/s. Will there be congestion? If yes then how you will control
the congestion in the TCP network
