No Congestion Control ========================== .. panels:: :container: container-fluid p-4 bg-light :column: col-lg-12 .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is UDP No Congestion Control?** UDP does not implement congestion control mechanisms, meaning it does not reduce or adjust its sending rate in response to network congestion. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Why is UDP No Congestion Control useful?** This feature allows continuous and rapid data transmission regardless of network conditions, which is ideal for real-time applications that prioritize speed over reliability. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **How does UDP handle No Congestion Control?** UDP sends packets as fast as the application allows, without checking for or reacting to congestion on the network, leaving traffic regulation to higher layers if needed. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Where is UDP No Congestion Control used?** It is commonly used in applications like VoIP, live streaming, online gaming, and DNS where low latency is more important than congestion handling. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Which OSI layer does UDP No Congestion Control belong to?** UDP operates at the **Transport Layer (Layer 4)** of the OSI model, but unlike TCP, it does not perform congestion control. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Is UDP No Congestion Control Windows specific?** No, UDP's lack of congestion control is a protocol-level behavior and is consistent across all platforms, including Windows. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Is UDP No Congestion Control Linux specific?** No, Linux also implements UDP without congestion control, in line with the protocol specification. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Which Transport Protocol uses No Congestion Control?** **UDP (User Datagram Protocol)** does not implement congestion control, unlike TCP. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Is UDP No Congestion Control using client-server model?** Yes, UDP-based applications often follow a client-server model, but any congestion handling must be implemented by the application itself. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow Topics in this section, * :ref:`Learnings in this section ` * :ref:`Terminology ` * :ref:`Version Info ` * :ref:`No Congestion Control Basic Setup on Ubuntu using IPv4 ` * :ref:`UDP Feature : No Congestion Control ` * :ref:`Reference links ` .. _No_Congestion_Control_step1: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Learnings in this section * In this section, you are going to learn .. _No_Congestion_Control_step2: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Terminology * Terminology .. _No_Congestion_Control_step3: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Version Info * Version Info .. _No_Congestion_Control_step18: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: No Congestion Control Basic Setup on Ubuntu using IPv4 * setup .. _No_Congestion_Control_step4: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: UDP Feature : No Congestion Control **No Congestion Control - Testcases** .. csv-table:: :file: ./UDP_Feature5_No_congestion_control_Test_Cases.csv :widths: 10,10,30,20 :header-rows: 1 .. _No_Congestion_Control_step17: .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: Reference links * Reference links
