 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Network Congestion occurs when offered traffic exceeds available forwarding, buffering, or transmission capacity.
 +
 +In the context of [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:internet_qos]], Network Congestion increases latency, jitter, and packet loss unless traffic management mechanisms control the overload.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//network condition in which offered traffic exceeds available forwarding, buffering, or transmission capacity//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Generalised from Internet QoS and packet-switched networking terminology.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Network Congestion is not application overload, database contention, governance backlog, or DDS resource-limit exhaustion.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A router experiences congestion when incoming packets arrive faster than the outgoing interface forwards them.
