A switching technique, used by bridges and switches, in which complete packets of information are stored in internal buffers before they are sent to another port.
(1) Technique in which a message is received from the originator and held in storage until a circuit to the addressee becomes available. (2) Transmittal of complete network messages or packets into storage before sending them forward to the next center. (3) Capture of transaction data on magnetic media for subsequent batch input to a computer.
Switching feature where the receiving port receives the entire incoming frame and stores it in the buffers before forwarding it to the destination port.
The most accurate data transferring technique used by switches. When the network is busy, packets are stored until the network is able to carry the traffic and packets are transmitted without error. The switch examines each packet of a transmission to verify accuracy, and ensure bad or misaligned packets are eliminated, and then sends good packets to their destination.
A communications system in which messages are received at an intermediate routing point in a network, recorded (i.e. stored), and then transmitted (i.e. forwarded) to another routing point, or their final destination, at a later time. This allows messages to be sent to machines that may be offline or transferred over a net at off-peak hours when rates and/or traffic are lower.
The most accurate data transferring technique used by switches, it examines each packet of a transmission to verify accuracy, and ensure bad or misaligned packets are eliminated, then sends good packets to their destination. When the network is busy, packets are stored until the network is able to carry the traffic and packets are transmitted without error.
A switching technique that requires buffering an entire frame before a routing decision is made.
A message switching technique in which messages are temporarily stored at intermediate points before being retransmitted to the next destination.
A technique that involves accepting a message or packet on a communications pathway retaining it in memory, and retransmitting it to the next station. Synonymous with message switching.
