A data buffer is a temporary storage area in computer memory used to hold data while it is being transferred between different locations or processes. It can be implemented in hardware or software and is commonly used to handle differences in data rates or variable rates of data processing. Buffers often use a queue algorithm to manage the timing of data transfer.
