buffer management techniques

Buffer management techniques are methods used to handle temporary storage areas (buffers) that hold data while it's being transferred between systems or processes. These techniques ensure data flows smoothly without overflow or delays. Common strategies include fixed buffers, where a set amount of space is reserved; dynamic buffers, which grow or shrink as needed; and techniques like double buffering, where one buffer is used for processing while another is being filled, minimizing delays. Effective buffer management optimizes performance, prevents data loss, and ensures efficient data handling across devices and applications.
