A temporary storage place for data, designed to compensate for a difference In transmission speeds or to hold data when there is a difference in timing of events.

Definition:
Puffer zum Ausgleich von Unterschieden in der Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit ermöglichen es, einen Stau in einer Verarbeitung zu tolerieren, in dem die Objekte der Verarbeitung zwecks späterer Verarbeitung zwischengelagert werden. Solche Puffer bilden eine Warteschlange (engl. pipe ‚Rohr‘ oder queue ‚Warteschlange‘) und funktionieren nach dem First In – First Out-Prinzip. Technisch werden sie häufig als Ringpuffer implementiert. Puffer können hardware- oder softwareseitig implementiert werden, wobei die überwiegende Zahl von Puffern softwareseitig realisiert wird.
