A freeway condition where traffic demand exceeds roadway capacity.
What occurs when the load exceeds the capacity of a data communication path. You may be experiencing congestion when any of the following happens: you get a busy signal when you dial into a modem pool, the response from the server or host you are trying to reach is slow, or you get an error message telling you that no ports are available for the service or host you want to use.

The bottle neck that occurs on transmission or distribution lines when the demand for electricity on that section of the grid exceeds the capacity to send it.
traffic delays at the entrance to a port.
A state occurring in a part of a network when the message traffic is so heavy that it slows down network response time.
Congestions appear when a network is charged. It realizes a slow down of answer time and file transfers.
The situation in which there are too many Packets present in the network, leading to performance degradation.
Transmission system (wires) can't handle the demand for power.
A condition in (part of) a network when the data traffic is so heavy that it slows down the response time of the network.
Congestion exists when one or more restrictions, or bottlenecks, exist on the transmission system which prevents the economic, or the least expensive, supply of energy from serving the customer demand. Some transmission lines may not have enough capacity to carry all the electricity to meet customer demands in a particular location.
Occurs when the traffic attempting to access the network is greater than the available bandwidth or capacity. Congestion manifests itself in decreased network performance, and can cause latency and jitter, adversely impacting VoIP communication. Proper network design and maintenance can reduce or eliminate congestion problems. Back
A condition which hinders movement on a transportation facility at optimal legal speeds. Frequently characterized by unstable traffic flows.
A condition that is characterized by the inability to supply an area with the cheapest available generation due to capacity constraints of transmission paths
A measure of the amount of traffic on a roadway. Determined by the detected average speed of vehicles on the roadway as determined by roadway detectors.
Congestion occurs when the constraints on the transmission system make it impossible to carry out a transaction. For example, if a utility in New York wanted to buy electricity from Hydro One, and the tie lines to New York were already at capacity, this is an example of congestion.
A state in which the network is overloaded and starts to discard user data (frames, cells or packets).
Recurrent congestion is defined as a condition lasting for 15 minutes or longer where travel demand exceeds freeway design capacity. That typically means freeway speeds were 35 mph or less during peak commute periods on a typical incident-free weekday. "Non-recurrent" congestion is defined as backups caused by special circumstances, such as accidents, stalled vehicles, sporting events, etc. (CalTrans). The consequences of congestion are longer and less predictable travel times.
The state of a transmission system when a binding limit (constraint) on the system’s transfer capability is reached that must be addressed.
A slow-down in response time of a network caused when part of a network experiences heavy data traffic.A slow-down in response time of a network caused when part of a network experiences heavy data traffic.
blocked with traffic and people.
Highway congestion results when traffic demand approaches or exceeds the available capacity of the transportation facility(ies).
Increased retry rates, latency and failures observed when network traffic exceeds capacity.
usually concerned with transport when there is so much traffic it stops or slows down the movement.
Overcrowding on roads causing traffic jams.
The situation in which the traffic present on the network exceeds available network bandwidth/capacity.
Call Congestion: The probability that a bid to a particular pool of Resources will not result in an immediate seizure. time Congestion: The proportion of time that a particular pool of Resources does not contain any idle Resource. (Needs clarification within EU-P308. The term Congestion appears to be a somewhat more loosely(?) defined measure of traffic impairment when used in the context of traffic management.) source: ITU-T E.600 domain: Performance usage: EU-P308
Congestion occurs when the offered load exceeds the capacity of a data communication path.
Traffic flow exceeds capacity of transport route
The level at which transportation system performance is no longer acceptable due to traffic interference. The level of acceptable performance may vary by type of transportation facility (arterial, principal, or transit), geographic area (urban, rural, or surburban), and/or time of day.
The condition in which a network or part of a network is overloaded and has insufficient communication resources for the volume of traffic.
A condition that occurs when user demand on a transportation system (i.e., roadway or transit route) exceeds the capacity of the system during any period of the day, but usually occurs during the peak commuter periods of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Traffic in excess of network capacity.
The condition under which the transactions that market participants wish to implement in a given region at a given time exceed the constraints on the transmission grid. Congestion may require the system operator to adjust the output of generators out of economic order, decreasing it in one area to relieve the congestion and increasing it in another area to continue to meet customer demand.
Density of traffic when the load exceeds the capacity of a data communication path.
Congestion occurs when the offered load exceeds the capacity of adata communication path. connection-oriented
Congestion is a state of excessive accumulation or overfilling or overcrowding. This general definition is broadly correct across all uses of the word. However in specific contexts the word has a more precise definition and usage.
