Which port setting is used to help regulate the flow of traffic?

The port setting used to help regulate the flow of traffic is known as flow control. Flow control mechanisms, such as XON/XOFF (software flow control) and RTS/CTS (hardware flow control), manage the data transmission rate between devices to prevent data loss during communication. By ensuring that the sender does not overwhelm the receiver with too much data at once, flow control helps maintain efficient and reliable data transfer.
