Detailed explanation-1: -Flow control: TCP uses a mechanism called flow control to avoid overwhelming the receiver with too much data. The receiver advertises a window size in the TCP header, which tells the sender how much data it can send before it needs to wait for an ACK.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses a sliding window for flow control. Before you tune any TCP/IP settings, first understand how the TCP sliding window works. The TCP sliding window determines the number of unacknowledged bytes, x, that one system can send to another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flow control is important because it is possible for a sending computer to transmit information at a faster rate than the destination computer can receive and process it.
