congestion avoidance

Congestion avoidance refers to strategies used to prevent overcrowding in systems like transportation networks or data communication. In transportation, it involves managing traffic flow to minimize delays, such as using traffic signals or alternate routes. In data networks, it includes techniques that prevent data packet overloads, ensuring smooth communication. The goal is to maintain efficient operation by anticipating and mitigating potential bottlenecks before they occur, allowing systems to function effectively and improving overall performance.
