Buffering

Buffering is a temporary storage process used to smooth out data transfer between devices or over networks. It involves holding data in a reserved space, called a buffer, so that it can be delivered steadily and efficiently, even if the source or network is inconsistent. For example, when streaming a video, buffering ensures that the video plays smoothly without interruption, even if internet speed fluctuates. This process helps manage differences in data flow, preventing gaps or delays, and provides a seamless experience for users.
