Cancellation Propagation
Passing a cancellation signal from a parent operation to participating child operations so unnecessary work can stop. The signal is cooperative: each component must support and observe it. Canceling a local wait or network request does not establish that a remote service stopped processing or reversed an already committed change.
Also called: Cooperative cancellation
