sliding-window
<networking> 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.
