Abstract
The disclosure relates to cut-through forwarding module, an integrated circuit, a semiconductor device and a method of receiving and transmitting data frames in a cut-through forwarding mode. The cut-through forwarding module processes received data frames in data blocks. The module comprises a pre-loading unit for storing a first data block of a received data frame. The stored first data block may be pre-loaded by the pre-loading unit in a transmitter unit before a receiver unit receives a subsequent data frame. The processing unit controls the transfer of a first data block to the pre-loading unit and controls the use of a pre-loaded data block as a first data block of a data frame to be transmitted.
