TCP flow control is a mechanism in the Transmission Control Protocol that regulates data transmission between network hosts for efficient communication. Key concepts include the receive window, sliding window protocol, and slow start, which manage varying sender and receiver speeds. Overall, it aims to prevent congestion and ensure reliable data delivery.
