Congestion is said to occur in the network when the resource demands exceed the capacity and packets are lost due to too much queuing in the network. During congestion, the network throughput may drop to zero and the path delay may become…
Real-time communication applications require consistently low latency, which is often disrupted by latency spikes caused by competing flows, especially Web traffic. We identify the root cause of disruptions in such cases as the mismatch…
