What is network congestion?

Network congestion refers to a situation in a computer network where there is a high volume of data traffic, leading to a decrease in network performance and an increase in delays or packet loss. It occurs when the network's capacity is exceeded by the amount of data being transmitted, causing congestion and resulting in slower data transfer speeds and reduced efficiency.
