Q
Which of the following mechanism is used by the TCP to guard the receiver from data overwhelming?
AA. Flow control
BB. Error control
CC. Sequencing
DD. Acknowledgement
Correct Answer:
A. A. Flow control
Explanation:
Senders may send the data at a rate that can not be handled by a receiver and may drench the receiver with load. In such scenarios, flow control mechanism informs the receiver to decrease the rate at which it is sending. If the rate is very slow, then the sender will be asked to increase the rate.
