2.3 Frame Buffering and Latency
The Magnum CS14 and CSN14 Series Converter Switches are store-and-forward
switches. Each frame (or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before

length and have the correct CRC, i.e. they are good packets. This eliminates propagation of
bad packets, enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.
