What is the purpose of frame buffers on a switch?
- They execute checksum values before transmission.
- They provide temporary storage of the frame checksum.
- They hold traffic, thus alleviating network congestion.
- They provide a basic security scan on received frames.
Explanation: Switches have large frame buffers that allow data waiting to be transmitted to be stored so the data will not be dropped. This feature is beneficial especially if the incoming traffic is from a faster port than the egress port used for transmitting.
