My Dear JP,
While researching the subject surrounding the attempt to resolve contentious
issues regarding the
definition of the term "congestion", there are some other possible words to
offer which may better 
suit your proposed definition:
"A condition in which one or more egress interfaces are offered more packets
than are forwarded."
Although we all can agree that obstipation/constipation SHOULD not be used
due to the inferred meanings, how about:
spissitude
lentor
glutinosity

None of these words have been defined/used throughout the telecommunications
industry to my knowledge.

Discussion:
The actual algorithm or mechanism I used to assemble these terms is not
important in describing the 
addition of fiber to one's diet, although I'm confident that offered fiber
could help someone 
manage their congestion. ;)
