Reliable Data Transfer

Reliable Data Transfer is a process used in computer networks to ensure that information sent from one device to another arrives intact and in the correct order. Imagine sending a package: you want it delivered safely, without damage and in the right sequence if you send multiple items. Similarly, reliable data transfer employs techniques like acknowledgments (confirming receipt), checks for errors, and retransmission of lost or damaged data. This way, it maintains the integrity and accuracy of communications, much like a trustworthy delivery service ensures packages reach their destination as intended.
