HI all.

Here is the scenario.

I have port 8888 for my program to use.

I build a TCP and a UDP listener on that port. (This can do, c# allows, because they are two different protocols)

My question is

If the network traffic is very busy, TCP sockets may refuse or signalling the other end to stop sending things, it is called congestion control, right?

So if TCP is congestion controlling, other ends may not send more data, in this "TCP quiet period", UDP channel should have not that much of traffic, right?

I want to figure out the TCP traffic will affect UDP traffic or not?
