Match the forwarding characteristic to its type. (Not all options are used.)

• appropriate for high-performance computing applications: cut-through switch
• error checking before forwarding: store and forward switch
• forwarding process can begin after receiving the destination address: cut-through switch
• forwarding process only begins after receiving the entire frame: store and forward switch
• may forward invalid frames: cut-through switch
• only forwards valid frames: store and forward switch

cut-through switch: appropriate for high-performance computing applications, the forwarding process can begin after receiving the destination address, and may forward invalid frames

store and forward switch: error checking before forwarding, forwarding process only begins after receiving the entire frame, only forwards valid frames
