In communications, flood control is a feature of many communication protocols designed to prevent overwhelming of a destination receiver.[1] Such controls can be implemented either in software or in hardware, and will often request that the message be resent after the receiver has finished processing.
Internet forums often use a flood control mechanism to prevent too many messages from being posted at once, either to prevent spamming or denial-of-service attacks. Internet Relay Chat servers will often quit users performing IRC floods with an "Excess Flood" message.
