I am building out a new data center, and I am unsure of real world models on when to use 'store-and-forward' vs 'cut-through' switches. I understand that concepts or operating methods; however, I am not sure how to translate this to real world production environments, and which type/method of switch to use for which business/topology model case.
Looking for suggestion or to talk ideas over with.
Thank you
Roman

Hello,
on a side note, the document linked below discusses the issue in detail. I think the newer Nexus switches use cut-through...

Sorry was away for the Holiday.
From my understanding most Catalyst switches are store and forward.
Nexus 5k are cut-through and 7k is store-and-forward.
I think some models you can change; however, I would have to look up on that.
