  sliding-window
       
           A method of {flow control} in which a {receiver}
          gives a {transmitter} permission to transmit {data} until a
          {window} is full.  When the window is full, the transmitter
          must stop transmitting until the receiver advertises a larger


          window.
       
          {TCP}, other transport {protocols}, and several {link-layer
          protocols} use this method of flow control.
