Abstract

A network device operating in a cut-through mode receives a current packet of an unknown length and determines if there is a known length value of a previous packet in a processing cycle associated with the current packet. When there is no known length value of the previous packet, the network device applies, to the current packet, an estimated length value for the current packet. When there is a known length value of the previous packet, the network device applies, to the current packet, the known length value of the previous packet. The network device processes the current packet based on one of the estimated length value or the known length value of the previous packet.
