#Flow Control |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Flow control** is a crucial mechanism in `TCP` that regulates data transmission between a sender |
||||||
|
and a receiver to prevent network congestion and packet loss. In server-side game development, |
||||||
|
effective flow control ensures smooth data transfer, reducing latency and improving real-time |
||||||
|
responsiveness for multiplayer games. `TCP` uses techniques like sliding window protocols, where |
||||||
|
the receiver dictates how much data it can handle at a time, preventing buffer overflows. |
||||||
|
Additionally, congestion control algorithms like `TCP Reno` and `CUBIC` help dynamically adjust |
||||||
|
transmission rates based on network conditions. Proper flow control tuning is essential for |
||||||
|
maintaining stable connections, minimizing lag, and optimizing server performance in |
||||||
|
high-traffic gaming environments. |
