Abstract
A general cut-through switching (GCTS) technique is proposed and analyzed. In GCTS, a message may cut through a node if the node becomes free before the message is completely received there. Under the GCTS mechanism, a message may cut through a node even though the node has more than one message in it. This results in minimizing the end-to-end delay time of messages as compared to the other cut-through mechanisms. Moreover, GCTS is more susceptible to exact mathematical treatment.Keywords
