Title: Performance measurement of computer networks to improve congestion control

Typical effects of congestion include queuing delay, packet loss (loss of information) or the blocking of new connections. Congestion needs to be controlled to ensure the QoS and also to increase efficiency of the system in order to survive the ever growing competition of service providers in market today. In order to evaluate the QoS it is essential to measure the performance of network in terms of throughput, efficiency, delay, packet dropping probability etc. These parameters are influenced by variations in the network parameters like packet size, packet interval and link capacity. To implement congestion control early detection of packet drop or monitoring link buffer would help avoid congestion. The concentration of this paper is around network parameters, how they affect system performance and how these results can help avoid congestion scenario.Read More
