Techopedia Explains Store and Forward
Store and forward is primarily implemented in telecommunication networks, where remote subscribers lack direct or dedicated connections. The store and forward technique works by storing the message transmitted by the source device on an intermediary device, generally a server. The server then locates the destination device from it database of subscribers, initiates a connection and transmits the data packet that was originally sent by the source device.
