store and forward
<messaging> (Or "message switching") A kind of message passing system where a complete message is received before it is passed on to the next node. This means that each message is using at most one interprocessor link at any time but may require more storage buffers on intermediate nodes than the alternative, wormhole routing.

Store and forward
Store and forward is a telecommunications technique in which information is sent to an intermediate station where it is kept and sent at a later time to the final destination or to another intermediate station. The intermediate station, or node in a networking context, verifies the integrity of the message before forwarding it. In general, this technique is used in networks with intermittent connectivity, especially in the wilderness or environments requiring high mobility. It may also be preferable in situations when there are long delays in transmission and variable and high error rates, or if a direct, end-to-end connection is not available.
