Taxonomy of Computer Network Congestion Control/Avoidance Methods

Abstract

The communication platform in the computing field is increasing at a rapid pace. Technology is constantly budding with the materialization of new technological devices, specifically in the communication industry. The internet is expanding exponentially. Internet-enabled devices are becoming part and parcel of our daily lives. It has turned out to be almost impossible to think about the world without the internet. The internet structures might be reinforced to meet coming prerequisites in mobile communication. Congestion plays a vital role in regulating the flow of data to accelerate the exchange of data in between the wired and wireless devices. In this chapter, the authors try to highlight various network congestion techniques with their limitations proposed from time to time by various researchers. This chapter plays a vital role in highlighting the history of networking congestion detection/avoidance techniques starting from the early days of networking.
