In addition to a stuffy nose and difficulty breathing (sorry, allergies are
killing me today :), congestion usually refers to the media (ethernet,
serial, whatever) having sufficient traffic on it so that devices need to
queue things. Keep in mind that different media have different utilization
levels that would be considered 'congested'. Two routers connected via
serial can work at 80% all the time and not really have many output queue
drops. Same 80% with shared, half duplex ethernet, and you'll be seeing
tons of deferred frames and collisions/late collisions.
