Abstract
One aspect of the present invention is a communication device including: a first control unit that converts, when data including partial data obtained by fragmenting a user frame and a user frame is received via a passive optical network, the partial data into data that is not discarded in a transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted, and transmits the data through the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted; and a second control unit that receives the data via the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted from the first control unit, converts the received data into a user frame that is transmittable through the passive optical network, and transmits the user frame via the passive optical network.
Claims7
A communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to:
- converts, when data including partial data obtained by fragmenting a user frame and a user frame is received via a passive optical network, the partial data into data that is not discarded in a transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted, and transmits the data through the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted;
- and
- receives the data via the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted, converts the received data into a user frame that is transmittable through the passive optical network, and transmits the user frame via the passive optical network.
A communication method, comprising:
- a first control step of converting, when data including partial data obtained by fragmenting a user frame and a user frame is received via a passive optical network, the partial data into data that is not discarded in a transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted, and transmitting the data through the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted;
- and
- a second control step of receiving the data via the transmission line through which the user frame is transmitted, converting the received data into a user frame that is transmittable through the passive optical network, and transmitting the user frame via the passive optical network.
