        **What is UDP No Flow Control?**

        UDP does not implement any form of flow control, meaning it does not manage or limit the rate at which data is sent between sender and receiver.

        **Why is UDP No Flow Control useful?**

        Lack of flow control allows for faster transmission and minimal protocol overhead, making UDP suitable for high-speed, time-sensitive applications.

        **How does UDP handle No Flow Control?**

        UDP sends data without checking if the receiver is ready or able to process it, leaving flow management to the application layer if needed.

        **Where is UDP No Flow Control used?**

        It is commonly used in real-time services such as online gaming, video conferencing, and live audio/video streaming where speed is prioritized over reliability.

        **Which OSI layer does UDP No Flow Control belong to?**

        UDP operates at the **Transport Layer (Layer 4)** of the OSI model, but it does not provide flow control unlike TCP.

        **Is UDP No Flow Control Windows specific?**

        No, UDP's lack of flow control is part of the protocol specification and is implemented the same way on all platforms including Windows.

        **Is UDP No Flow Control Linux specific?**

        No, Linux follows the standard UDP implementation, which does not include any built-in flow control.

        **Which Transport Protocol uses No Flow Control?**

        **UDP (User Datagram Protocol)** does not use flow control mechanisms.

        **Is UDP No Flow Control using client-server model?**

        Yes, UDP applications often follow a client-server model, but flow control must be handled at the application level, if at all.
