Let's suppose node A subscribe the topic published by node B. Node A do many caculatations for the subscribed data, it will take a lot of time. However, node B publish topic too fast and assume we can not change the publish rate. So many data published by node B can not be subscribed on time. These data will be lost.

So is there any method to buffer the subscribed topic?

One easy way is to increase queue size of subscriber.

ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("topic_name", 1000, subscriber_callback);  //  queue size is 1000
