        **What is Congestion Control?**

        Congestion control is a set of techniques used by connection-oriented protocols like TCP to prevent network congestion by controlling the amount of data sent into the network.

        **Why is Congestion Control useful?**

        It helps maintain network performance and avoids packet loss or delays caused by overwhelming network resources, ensuring fair bandwidth usage among multiple users.

        **How does Congestion Control work?**

        TCP uses algorithms like Slow Start, Congestion Avoidance, Fast Retransmit, and Fast Recovery to dynamically adjust the sending rate based on network feedback and detected packet loss.

        **Is Congestion Control using client-server model?**

        Yes, congestion control is used in client-server communication to ensure that data flows efficiently and fairly between sender and receiver.
