Sequence check: A procedural control used to ensure that data is being processed in the intended order, usually by assigning a unique sequential identifier to each data item. In the context of data transmissions, it can be used to detect errors, duplicates, or missing data packets by verifying that the received data is in the correct sequence. If a data item arrives out of order or an identifier is skipped, it triggers an error that indicates a potential issue with the transmission.
