👉 Flow control is a process in computer science, specifically in the field of networking and communication. It involves managing or controlling the flow of data between multiple devices or networks to ensure that information can be transmitted efficiently and without interference. This can include both physical and logical means such as using switches, routers, and other devices to direct traffic in and out of a network. Flow control is important for ensuring that data packets are delivered from one device to another on time, avoiding congestion and maintaining reliable communication between networks
