Congestion Control
INTRODUCTION TO
CONGESTION CONTROL
Importance in Network Management
Congestion control plays a crucial role
in managing network traffic and
ensuring efficient data transmission.
Preventing Network Congestion
Congestion control mechanisms are
designed to prevent network congestion
by regulating the flow of data and
avoiding network congestion.
TCP CONGESTION
CONTROL
TCP congestion control is a set of mechanisms and
algorithms used to regulate congestion in TCP/IP
networks. It aims to prevent network congestion and
ensure reliable data transmission by dynamically
adjusting the sending rate of TCP traffic based on
network conditions.

WIRELESS NETWORKS
Unique Challenges
Wireless networks face unique challenges when it comes to congestion control due
to the nature of wireless communication.
Strategies for Managing Congestion
•Dynamic rate control: Adjusting the transmission rate based on network conditions
to avoid congestion.
•Packet prioritization: Giving priority to certain types of packets to ensure critical
data is transmitted without delay.
•Channel allocation: Efficiently allocating available channels to minimize
interference and congestion.
CONCLUSION
Key Points
• Congestion control is crucial in network
management to ensure efficient and
reliable data transmission.
• By implementing congestion control
algorithms and protocols, network
administrators can optimize network
performance and ensure a smooth user
experience.
Importance of Effective Congestion
Control
•Effective congestion control helps
prevent network congestion, which can
lead to slow data transfer, packet loss,
and network instability.
• Congestion control also plays a vital
role in supporting the increasing
demand for data transmission in modern
networks, such as wireless networks and
data centers.
