Abstract
Congestion is one of the biggest hurdles in the networking environment. Efficient communication involves minimizing congestion. One of the important factors in congestion is the improper or overutilization of the network bandwidth. Other reasons such as outdated hardware, low link bandwidth, bandwidth hogs, network device malfunctioning, poor network configuration and the number of devices in the network are also responsible for congestion. It leads to packet loss, delay, performance degradation, timeout, jitter, buffer overflow, Packet retransmission etc. To deal with these issues, researchers need to focus on various parameters to handle congestion efficiently. In this paper, we have considered various parameters such as throughput, fairness, packet loss, packet loss ratio, delay, etc. for performance analysis.
