In a packet switching network, packet flow or a data traffic flow is a sequence of packets from a source computer to a destination, which may be another host, a multicast group, or a broadcast domain. As packets traverse successive communication links towards their destination, the packets from one flow (e.g. , A1, A2, A3) will be intermingled with packets from other flows also traversing the network to form a multiplexed stream (e.g. , A1, B7, C9, A2, C10, A3).

- In a packet switching network, packet flow or a data traffic flow is a sequence of packets from a source computer to a destination, which may be another host, a multicast group, or a broadcast domain. As packets traverse successive communication links towards their destination, the packets from one flow (e.g. , A1, A2, A3) will be intermingled with packets from other flows also traversing the network to form a multiplexed stream (e.g. , A1, B7, C9, A2, C10, A3). This represents a form of statistical multiplexing because the link is shared as required. The term flow is often used synonymously to a multiplex channel or a path in a network.
