2.3 Frame Buffering and Latency

The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct CRC, i.e. they are good packets. This eliminates propagation of bad packets, enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.
