Store-and-Forward Networking
Store-and-Forward Networking is a method used in data communication where messages are temporarily stored at an intermediate point before being forwarded to their final destination. This approach allows for efficient handling of data, especially in situations where the receiving device may not be immediately available.
In this system, data packets are collected, stored, and then sent when the network conditions are favorable. This technique is commonly used in applications like email and messaging services, ensuring that information is delivered even if the recipient is offline at the time of sending.
