Store And Forward Packet Switching

Store And Forward Packet Switching refers to a switching technique in which frames are completely processed before being forwarded out the appropriate port. This processing includes calculating the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and checking the destination address. In addition, frames must be temporarily stored until network resources are available to forward the message.
