data stream
Continuous digital transmission
A data stream is a continuous flow of data transmitted or processed sequentially over time.
The term emphasizes movement and sequence rather than static storage: The sensor sends a constant data stream to the server.
In computing, data streams feed real-time applications—video feeds, financial tickers, network packets.
To stream is to transmit or receive data this way.
