Store and Forward
Store and Forward is a method used in telecommunications and data transmission where information is temporarily stored before being sent to its final destination. This approach allows for efficient handling of data, especially when the recipient is not immediately available to receive it.
In this process, data packets are collected and stored on an intermediate server or device. Once the network conditions are favorable or the recipient is ready, the stored data is forwarded to its intended location. This technique is commonly used in email systems and messaging applications to ensure reliable communication.
