flow control
<communications, protocol> The collection of techniques used in serial communications to stop the sender sending data until the receiver can accept it. This may be either software flow control or hardware flow control. The receiver typically has a fixed size buffer into which received data is written as soon as it is received. When the amount of buffered data exceeds a "high water mark", the receiver will signal to the transmitter to stop transmitting until the process reading the data has read sufficient data from the buffer that it has reached its "low water mark", at which point the receiver signals to the transmitter to resume transmission.

Flow control
In computer networking, flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes. This should be distinguished from congestion control, which is used for controlling the flow of data when congestion has actually occurred . Flow control mechanisms can be classified by whether or not the receiving node sends feedback to the sending node.
