Spooling (Simultaneous Peripheral Operations Online) is a process that stores data from a computer temporarily in a buffer instead of sending it directly to a printer. This helps to speed up the printing process as the printer can access the data from the buffer rather than waiting for the computer to send it. Buffering is a more general term and refers to the use of a buffer to store data temporarily before it is processed or transmitted. Spoofing refers to the act of falsifying data to make it appear as if it came from a trusted source. Queuing refers to a process of organizing and prioritizing requests or tasks in a sequence.
