firehose syndrome
|
|
|
|
n. In mainstream folklore it is observed that trying to drink from a
|
|
firehose can be a good way to rip your lips off. On computer networks, the
|
|
absence or failure of flow control mechanisms can lead to situations in
|
|
which the sending system sprays a massive flood of packets at an unfortunate
|
|
receiving system, more than it can handle. Compare overrun , buffer
|
|
overflow.
