TCP Congestion Control II: Concepts

Ah, so we’re back again. Let’s see if we can cover some distance this time.

In the last post, we went with an overview of congestion control in networks. In this post, lets take a look at some of the concepts mentioned in the previous post and some new ones to aid our understanding of this subject.

ORA-04091
