<p>A network device (100) for processing packets includes an ingress module (102) for performing switching functions on an incoming packet, a memory management unit (104) for storing packets and an egress module (106) for transmitting the incoming packet to an egress port. The memory management unit (104) is configured to store initial cells of the incoming packet in a memory, resolve whether a cut through process can be enabled and forward the initial cells to the egress port before. a final cell of the incoming packet is stored in the memory, when the cut through process is enabled.</p> |
