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.
