Abstract
Various embodiments provide for cut-through data unit forwarding with early ingress processing of a data unit in a communications network, such as an Ethernet-based network. According to some embodiments, cut-through data unit forwarding is performed such that data unit processing is initiated by a receiving network device while the data unit is still underway from a transmitting network device.
