Congestion control concerns controlling traffic entry into a telecommunications network, so as to avoid congestive collapse by attempting to avoid to the industry's leading satellite link acceleration products. Recently acquired by Packeteer, Mentat(R) is the recognized leader in protocol acceleration technology. The award-winning Mentat SkyX product line accelerates Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. performance when used over satellite and long delay wide-area network (WAN) links.
