  2. Contention ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention_ratio

    In computer networking, the contention ratio is the ratio of the potential maximum demand to the actual bandwidth. The higher the contention ratio, the greater the number of users that may be trying to use the actual bandwidth at any one time and, therefore, the lower the effective bandwidth offered, especially at peak times. [1]

  3. Network congestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion

    Congestive collapse (or congestion collapse) is the condition in which congestion prevents or limits useful communication. Congestion collapse generally occurs at choke points in the network, where incoming traffic exceeds outgoing bandwidth. Connection points between a local area network and a wide area network are common choke points.

  4. Internet rush hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Rush_Hour

    Internet rush hour is the time period when the majority of Internet users are online at the same time. Typically, in the UK the peak hours are between 7 and 11 pm. [ 1 ] During this time frame, users commonly experience slowness while browsing or downloading content.

  5. Internet bottleneck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bottleneck

    In terms of public policy, Internet bottlenecks and/or network congestion has largely been nested within the network neutrality debate. Network neutrality is the notion that ISPs and content providers need to be regulated in order to maintain fair speeds and access to content for all Internet users.

  6. TCP congestion control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control

    The TCP congestion-avoidance algorithm is the primary basis for congestion control in the Internet. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Per the end-to-end principle , congestion control is largely a function of internet hosts , not the network itself.

  7. Explicit Congestion Notification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_Congestion...

    TCP supports ECN using two flags in the TCP header. The first, ECN-Echo (ECE) is used to echo back the congestion indication (i.e., signal the sender to reduce the transmission rate). The second, Congestion Window Reduced (CWR), to acknowledge that the congestion-indication echoing was received. Use of ECN on a TCP connection is optional; for ...

  8. Nagle's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle's_algorithm

    Nagle's algorithm is a means of improving the efficiency of TCP/IP networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. It was defined by John Nagle while working for Ford Aerospace.

  9. Bufferbloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufferbloat

    The DSL Reports Speedtest [11] is an easy-to-use test that includes a score for bufferbloat. The ICSI Netalyzr [ 12 ] was another on-line tool that could be used for checking networks for the presence of bufferbloat, together with checking for many other common configuration problems. [ 13 ]
