| − | The TCP protocol permits every [[application]] to manage the collective congestion on the [[Internet]]. TCP uses [[packet loss]] as a congestion detection method. When [[packet]]s are lost due to congestion, TCP reduces the [[data rate]] of the [[application]] to prevent further congestion. TCP attempts to achieve fairness among competing [[data flow]]s, so that all suffer equally when facing the weak part of the [[network]]. With a few notable exceptions, nearly every [[P2P]] [[protocol]] uses TCP to regulate congestion. |
