Abstract
Network congestion is characterized by delay and packet loss in the network. Increase in the rate of data transmissions as a result of increase in load, declines the throughput. Controlling congestion in network is an attempt to avoid overloading of any of the link capabilities of the intermediate nodes in the network by incorporating measures as reducing the rate of transmission or window size. This paper describes the comparison of different methods used in communication networks for controlling congestion to ensure effective communication. This study shows that the cross layered architecture with stochastic approach is providing an effective control over congestion and the response of the quality parameters is remarkably good in critical traffic situations.
