Talk:Cut-through switching

message: The article is a little bit confusing. The cut-through switching is implemented at the Level 2 (Data Link) from the OSI Reference Model, where IP does't exists, there are only Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 frames. Maybe that's where the confusion is from: IPv4's Checksum field applies only to the header, but the Ethernet's FCS (Frame Check Sequence) applies to all the frame, that is, including the data.
Also, the possibility for a cut-through switch to forward an incorrect frame exists. That's its main drawback, but it's really fast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marius p (talk • contribs) 
:I have made some improvements. I hope they help. OSI discussion often confuses things more than it helps so I have not added that. I'm not opposed to another giving it a go and we'll see how it looks. --Kvng (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

message: *What is the difference between cut-through switching and wormhole switching?
*What is a queueing backlog as mentioned in The main reason for not adopting cut-through routing is queueing backlog.?
Thanks, --Abdull (talk) 11:04, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the queuing backlog discussion because it was uncited and is not particularly useful to talk about what something is not. Wormhole switching apparently breaks packets into smaller pieces (flits) and forwards those. --Kvng (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

text: We also need to give some love to Wormhole switching. We need to keep in mind the difference between switching and routing. Even if cut-through and wormhole are the same process, they operate on different headers at different OSI layers. We need to understand the role of FLITs in wormhole switching. Most network equipment processes data on  a frame-by-frame basis, not byte-level. I don't have much more to contribute here without starting a research project, just trying to help point out the holes and inconsistencies here. ~KvnG 15:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
