Dataflödeskontroll
Dataflödeskontroll, also known as flow control, refers to the management of data transmission rates between two communicating nodes to prevent a fast sender from overwhelming a slow receiver. This mechanism is crucial in computer networks and telecommunications to ensure reliable data transfer and efficient use of network resources. Without proper dataflödeskontroll, a sender might transmit data faster than the receiver can process it, leading to buffer overflows, data loss, and degraded performance.
There are several techniques employed for dataflödeskontroll. Stop-and-wait is a simple method where the sender transmits
Another approach is based on the use of buffers. The receiver can signal to the sender when
