To add to this, there is some inherent latency when queuing packets as well so it’s best to avoid it as much as possible if latency is a concern. Low latency/cut-through switches have really shallow buffers on purpose and will quickly drop packets. To avoid queuing/drops you need to make sure you have ample bandwidth to absorb any microbursts. For example, if you have a 1Gb NIC that is constantly bursting at 1.2Gbps you should upgrade it to 10Gb.
