About This Visualization

This demonstrates TCP's AIMD (Additive Increase, Multiplicative Decrease) congestion control algorithm. The sender increases its congestion window linearly until packets are dropped at the router buffer, then halves the window and repeats—creating the characteristic "sawtooth" pattern.
