data stream (The flow of data from a source to a single receiver that flows through a channel, as opposed to packets, which may be addressed and routed independently, possibly to multiple recipients); dataflow (In a DFD model, an exchange of information between processes. Data flows represent discrete packets of data that flow into and out of processes); stream (An abstraction of a sequence of bytes, such as a file, an I/O device, an inter-process communication pipe, a TCP/IP socket, or a spooled print job. The relationship between streams and storages in a compound file is similar to that of files and folders) |
