Switch buffers allow packets to be held and stored temporarily as they are transported from one network node to another. By buffering packets, switches reduce the risk of dropped packets and increase the overall performance of the network. Buffers also enable switches to process more packets simultaneously, making it possible to support a higher throughput of data.
