Congestion

Emerge if the load on the network is greater than the capacity of the network

- Load that is the number of packets sent to the network

- Capacity that is the number of packets a network can handle

Why congestion occurs?

- Because routers and switches have queues that hold the packets before and after processing

Congestion control: keep the load below capacity
