Typically TCP (the Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for adding reliable delivery mechanisms to information flows. It operates at the Transport Layer. Some applications use the session layer in addition to or in place of transport layer mechanisms however.
In the OSI model, flow control is primarily managed by the Transport layer (Layer 4). This layer ensures that data is transmitted at a rate that matches the receiving device's capability to process it, preventing overflow and data loss. It employs techniques such as buffering, windowing, and acknowledgment mechanisms to regulate the flow of data between sender and receiver.

Transport
In the OSI model, each layer has a specific Protocol Data Unit (PDU). At the application layer, the PDU is called a message; at the transport layer, it is a segment (for TCP) or a datagram (for UDP); at the network layer, it is a packet; at the data link layer, it is a frame; and at the physical layer, the PDU is a bit. Each PDU encapsulates the relevant data and control information required for communication at that particular layer, facilitating the flow of data through the network.
The difference between datalink layer flow control and transport layer flow control is the need to keep the different layers of data separate in the flow control option.
Flow control is primarily managed at the Transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model. This layer ensures that data is transmitted reliably and in the correct sequence, using mechanisms like acknowledgments and windowing to manage data flow between sender and receiver. Protocols such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) implement these flow control techniques to prevent overwhelming the receiving device.
