A communication method performed by a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising a plurality of transmitting ports constituting a link aggregation, and an input port, the communication method comprising:

• transmitting a specific packet input from the input port from a specific transmitting port among the plurality of transmitting ports;
• and
• transmitting a first non-specific packet input from the input port from a transmitting port other than the specific transmitting port among the plurality of transmitting ports, the first non-specific packet being a packet other than the specific packet and having a predetermined packet length or longer.

A communication method performed by a communication system comprising first and second communication apparatuses connected to each other by a link aggregation, the first communication apparatus comprising a plurality of transmitting ports constituting a link aggregation, and an input port, the second communication apparatus comprising a plurality of receiving ports constituting a link aggregation, the communication method comprising:

• transmitting, by the first communication apparatus, a specific packet input from the input port from a specific transmitting port among the plurality of transmitting ports;
• and
• transmitting, by the first communication apparatus, a first non-specific packet input from the input port from a transmitting port other than the specific transmitting port among the plurality of transmitting ports, the first non-specific packet being a packet other than the specific packet and having a predetermined packet length or longer.
