This book offers a clear and accessible introduction to how Internet congestion control works — not just the protocols (like TCP, SCTP) and queue‑management strategies, but the fundamental “why” behind design decisions in congestion control.
It covers core principles such as congestion collapse, stability, fairness, rate‑ vs window‑based control, explicit vs implicit feedback, and how these apply across different network environments.
It also reviews how congestion control mechanisms interact with real‑world Internet traffic, traffic engineering and Quality of Service (QoS) from an ISP and service‑provision perspective — making the book valuable both for students and network engineers.
