Store-and-forward
Store-and-forward is holding a message on a device or node until a link is available, then sending it.
Context
It suits links that come and go, such as HF conditions that change with the hour or satellite passes. Paired with a priority queue, it lets urgent traffic go first when a window opens.
How Gridnorth handles it
Gridnorth queues messages by priority and holds them until a link is available. This is designed behaviour that we have not yet published measurements for.
