ABSTRACT:
A method according to one embodiment may include receiving a portion of an inbound frame compliant with a first communication protocol, translating the portion of the inbound frame into a translated portion compliant with a second communication protocol; and constructing an outbound frame comprising the translated portion before an entirety of the inbound frame is received. A cut-through communication protocol translation bridge may comprise an integrated circuit capable of performing such a method. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from these embodiments.
