Which switching technique begins forwarding a frame before the entire frame has been received, potentially reducing latency at the expense of error checking?
Adaptive switching
Store-and-forward switching
Cut-through switching
Fragment-free switching
Cut-through switching begins forwarding a frame after reading just the destination MAC address (typically the first 6-8 bytes), without waiting for the entire frame to be received. This approach reduces latency compared to store-and-forward switching but sacrifices the ability to perform error checking on the entire frame before forwarding it. Store-and-forward switching, on the other hand, receives the entire frame before forwarding, allowing for complete error checking but introducing higher latency.
