Flow
control refers to set of procedure used to restrict the amount of data the
sender can send before waiting for acknowledges.
The
flow of data must not be allowed to overwhelm the receiver. Any receiving device
has a limited speed at which it can process incoming data & limited amount
of memory in which to store incoming data. The receiving data must be able to
inform the sending device before those limits are reached & to request that
the transmitting device send fewer frames or stop temporarily.
There
are two types of flow control.
This
are-
(i) Stop & wait
flow control
(ii) Sliding window
flow control
