question 24
which switching method has the lowest level of latency?
cut - through
fragment - free
store - and - forward
fast - forward

Explanation:

Cut - through switching reads only the destination MAC address of the incoming frame and starts forwarding immediately, reducing the time delay compared to other methods. Fragment - free reads the first 64 bytes to check for collisions before forwarding. Store - and - forward reads the entire frame, checks for errors, and then forwards, causing more latency. Fast - forward is not a standard switching method in common networking terminologies.

Answer:

A. cut - through
