Abstract
This paper presents main stages of networking congestion control development including initial early motivations, modern state-of-the-art, and open problems. These stages form basis for teaching strategies. The paper provides several illustrative examples, which help to understand present state of congestion control using common experience of a person. The nature of the network congestion and the role of the network protocols in its control are discussed. Special attention is point at feedback between congestion control and performance. Performance issues are also carefully examined. Performance of the networking congestion control is studied by two modern alternative approaches. One of them belongs to author.
