what are the congestion prevention policy on network lay
congestion is Traffic in excess of network capacity. it occurs network layer and it is one of the function of network layer.
The techniques include End-system flow control, Network congestion control, Network based congestion avoidance and Resource allocation.
The term that describes the state of a network when the demand on resources exceeds available capacity is "network congestion." This situation occurs when there is too much data being transmitted over the network, leading to delays, packet loss, and decreased overall performance. Network congestion can be caused by various factors, including high traffic volume, insufficient bandwidth, and inefficient routing.
at the network layer, congestion control mechanism takes place
It don't control congestion that is up to the routers and gateways as they are the ones that look at the traffic and figure out the best way to send something over the internet.
Congestion control and quality of service (QoS) are interconnected in network management. Congestion control mechanisms aim to prevent network overload by regulating data flow, ensuring that the network can handle traffic without significant delays or packet loss. In contrast, QoS techniques prioritize certain types of traffic to guarantee a minimum level of performance for critical applications, such as voice or video. Effective congestion control can help maintain the QoS by minimizing latency and ensuring reliable delivery of prioritized data streams.
Congestion control does ensure that the network does not become saturated at any one point. This ensures that there is no compromise in the quality of service.
When too many packets are present in a subnet, performance degrades. This situation is called Congestion. Update: In any network when there is too much the data traffic at a node that the network slows down or starts loosing data, it is known as network congestion. It degrades quality of service and also can lead to delays, lost data or e.g. dropped calls on a telephone network. - Neeraj Sharma when excess of data travels in a subnet or in node there will be a loss of data, this excess flow is know as network congestion.This demotes the performance in network e.g.improper delivery of fax
It can also be called a network interface controller, network interface card, network adapter, and LAN adapter.
If you are talking strictly about routing, then layer 3 (the Network layer). There are some routing protocols, usually known as link-state routing protocols that are aware of network congestion problems and can re-route as necessary. Network congestion is not restricted to routing alone, however. At layer 4 (Transport Layer) there is a facility known as flow control, which can pause a sending network if the receiving network is too busy to accommodate all the packets.
Congestion control refers to techniques used in computer networks to manage the flow of data traffic in order to prevent network congestion. It helps to ensure that the network operates efficiently by regulating the rate at which data is transmitted and making adjustments as needed to avoid overwhelming network resources.
