And then come's online booking system, in which travelers had a choice of booking their travel ticket online by themselves specifying the FROM and TO location in the portal then make the payment with either debit/credit/internet banking system and complete the booking.

However, due to the mass evolution of the internet, Internet users were increased gradually and eventually Overloaded the portal with an infinite request each second.

Since several requests plunge into the IRCTC server at a particular time period, it got clogged with n number of the login requests. So the server allowed only a few requests following First Come First Serve Algorithm, hence the remaining people who are trying to log in at the same time have to wait in a queue, and once the traveler completes his transaction, then the next person in the queue was allowed to do login. This algorithm has affected not only the person who is trying to book tickets but also the traveler who is trying to do login to check the status of books ticket, print the confirmed ticket (or) to do inquiry.
