Flow Control vs Error Control Explained

The document discusses the difference between flow control and error control. Flow control is meant for transmission of data from sender to receiver using feedback or rate-based approaches. Error control is meant for transmission of error-free data using techniques like checksums, CRC, and parity checking to detect errors and techniques like Hamming code and convolutional codes to correct errors.

2. Approaches: Feedback- Approaches to detect

and Parity Checking.
3. It prevents the loss of data Approaches to correct
and avoids over-running of errors: Hamming code,
