* Resource allocation can be
classified whether a router or a host set up required resource.
* In router-based scheme, routers
have primary responsibility for congestion control.
* A router selectively forwards
packets and drops them, if required, to manage the allocation of existing
resources.
* A router also sends information
to end host on the amount of traffic it can generate and send.
* In host-based scheme, end hosts
have primary responsibility for congestion control.
* The end host observes the
network conditions and adjusts their behavior, such as throughput, delay and
packet losses and adjust rate at which they generate and send packets.
