flow regulator

In data communications, flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes to prevent a fast sender from overwhelming a slow receiver. It provides a mechanism for the receiver to control the transmission speed, so that the receiving node is not overwhelmed with data from transmitting node. Flow control 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.
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. This can happen if the receiving computers have a heavy traffic load in comparison to the sending computer, or if the receiving computer has less processing power than the sending computer.

    Help solve this friendly argument!

    We're having a (friendly) argument over whether it's right to fully open the main stopcock in a house or crack it open a few turns. Right now it's 5 for against 2 and I'm curious to see the result on here. I'm not telling which way the voting is going until the result on here is counted! :):):)
