Congestion control is a basic requirement for wireless communication. A number of devices need to communicate using loss-less and lower drop rate paths. Ubiquitous and wireless access to the internet was the major step taken by the introduction of the Third generation of Mobile cellular network. Still, there are some challenges due to different characteristics and prerequisites of the wired and wireless network. An important element of Network is Congestion control. Congestion control has to ensure network stability and achieves fair distribution of resources among users of the network. TCP is a well-known protocol used in networks for reliable transport and for congestion control. During almost any interaction network is used by users. Network designs using TCP-like congestion control protocols should ensure time bound and successful transaction/communication of data between users. Nowadays, people are concerned about flow completion within minimum time. People are not concerned about network efficiency, network throughput, and packet drop rate or packet delivery ratio. In this paper, we represent various possible approaches used for congestion control in the wired and wireless network.
