Hello,
Are Ethernet switches that perform cut-through or fragment-free switching common? I have an embedded application where the network configuration will be static (just a handful of Ethernet-connected devices -- 8 ports is plenty), by design there just aren't going to be that many collisions (if any), but I could definitely make use of the shorter latency that cut-through and fragment-free get you over store-and-forward.
All the switches on Newegg that list their "switching method" are all "store and forward," which is kinda depressing.
Thanks,
---Joel
