There are several ways to reduce network congestion. Subnetting and adding routers will break up broadcast domains and traffic. Adding VLANs will do the same while adding security. Upgrading the speed of NICs and wiring, i.e. moving from 10BaseT to 100 or 1000, will reduce congestion as will moving from half duplex transmissions to full duplex transmissions.

What is elastic and inelastic internet traffic?

Elastic traffic: -adjust its throughput between end hosts in response to network condition. - Generally TCP-based application (HTTP,STMP,FTP) - Principle form of feedback: packet loss caused by network load/congestion, causing TCP to implements its congestion avoidance algorithm and reduce the rate at which packets are sent over the network -TCP traffic is considered to be "network friendly" Inelastic traffic: - does not adjust its throughput in response to network conditions - generally real-time multimedia (audio streaming, video,VoIP)
