SN139: Network Congestion
from Security Now - 16k MP3 · host TWiT
Leo and I discuss an aspect of the "cost" of using the Internet - a packetized global network which (only) offers "best effort" packet delivery service. Since "capacity" is the cost, not per-packet usage, the cost is the same whether the network is used or not. But once it becomes "overused" the economics change since "congestion" results in a sudden loss of network performance.
