Overfullness of the capillary and other blood vessels, etc., in any locality or organ (often producing other morbid symptoms); local hypermic, active or passive; as, arterial congestion; venous congestion; congestion of the lungs
in traffic, the overcrowding of a route, leading to slow and inefficient flow In 1991 in the UK there were about 10 million cars and lorries, and the congestion that they cause is estimated to cost between £2 billion and £5 billion a year
A traffic situation in which there are so many vehicles on an open road or highway that motorists travel well below the speed limit (e g , 5 to 10 mph less than the limit) For purposes of this survey, congestion is due to the presence of many other vehicles - rather than to the presence of signal lights, for example
A condition in which a packet sent through a network experiences excessive delays because the network is overloaded with packets Protocol software has to detect this condition and take action to prevent the network from collapsing because of excessive overhead Congestion usually happens at specific points along a network path, and routing protocols can reroute data to use less congested paths and control congestion(to a degree)
in any locality or organ (often producing other morbid symptoms); local hyperæmia, active or passive; as, arterial congestion; venous congestion; congestion of the lungs
If there is congestion in a place, the place is extremely crowded and blocked with traffic or people. The problems of traffic congestion will not disappear in a hurry

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
Congestion is the term used to describe the situation that occurs when telecommunications traffic cannot be transferred to its destination because of a shortage of circuits en route The network or a particular switching center or traffic route is then said to be congested
Condition in which a link has too many packets waiting to be sent This condition could be caused by the failure of an element in the network Possible levels are None, Low, High, and Very High, which correspond roughly to equivalent ANSI and ITU congestion levels
