How does window size provide flow control?

What will be an ideal response?


When the window size is reached and no acknowledgement is received, then the transmitting device assumes there is a problem and begins to retransmit. If this happens, the window size is reduced, thus causing the transmitting device to send a smaller amount of data and relieving the load on the receiving device.
