flowkontroll
Flowkontroll refers to mechanisms and strategies used to regulate the rate of transfer of a resource from a sender to a receiver, with the aim of preventing overflow, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining system stability. It is applied across several domains, including digital communications and industrial process control, and can involve software protocols, hardware components, or a combination of both.
In digital communications, flowkontroll describes methods that constrain how much data the sender may transmit before
In industrial and process-control contexts, flowkontroll involves regulating the flow rate of liquids or gases using
Flowkontroll is distinct from congestion control: flowkontroll focuses on the capacity and coordination of the communicating
