Network congestion in data networking and queueing theory is the reduced quality of service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle. The methods by which open loop is used includes the window policy, retransmission policy etc. Whenever a timeout occur, the ssthresh is set to one half of the current congestion window and the congestion window is set to one and the sender enters into the slowstart phase. Congestion control mechanisms are divided into two categories, one category prevents the congestion from happening and the other category removes congestion after it has taken place.
