If you are using TCP, you have a perfectly good flow control scheme for
data available "for free". The window advertisement system works to ensure
that a transmitting system can't overflow a receiving system. Furthermore,
the slow-start algorithm prevents packet loss at the receiving end by
letting the rate of data flow "ramp up" to its final rate instead of
oscillating around the final rate and incurring packet loss.
