Observations on the dynamics of a congestion control. Transmission control protocol tcp uses a network congestionavoidance algorithm that includes various aspects of an additive increasemultiplicative decrease aimd scheme, with other schemes such as slowstart and congestion window to achieve congestion avoidance. Another approach to congestion avoidance is to limit the total number flow of packets in the subnet at any one time.
A window size of 0 would instruct the sender to send no further data, usually indicating significant congestion on the receiving host.

Tcp congestion control transmission control protocol. Unlike the sliding window rwnd used in the flow control mechanism and maintained by the receiver, tcp uses the congestion window cwnd maintained by the sender. Techniques to improve network performance over transmission control protocol. Flow control is an endtoend control method or a host transmits a window size with every acknowledgment indicating how many bytes it can accept, so the sender does not transmit too much data and overwhelm the host. Ideally, the objective of tcp congestion control is to have each sender transmit just the right amount data to keep the network saturated but not overloaded.
