what is flow control,.

Answer Posted / ajaz ahmad wani

In computer networking, flow control is the process of
managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes to
prevent a fast sender from over running a slow receiver.
This should be distinguished from congestion control, which
is used for controlling the flow of data when congestion
has actually occurred
