I trapped Trevor in the office today, and we had a bit of a conversation about congestion. Since it fit well with the discussion we've been having about queuing, I thought it would be a good idea to record it and post it. Congestion happens in queuing networks (e.g., packet networks) when there is simply too much traffic for a particular link in the network. It happens at the switching node feeding that link. Listen in as Trevor and I bat the concept around.
