Transfer device, transfer method, and computer readable medium

A transfer method comprising:

• assigning a corresponding identifier to a received frame based on content of the received frame;
• performing an allocation step of storing a received frame in a reception queue corresponding to an identifier assigned to the received frame;
• setting a gate control setting to set open/close information of a reception queue, the gate control setting being set for causing a received frame that has violated a communication cycle to wait in the reception queue;
• and
• executing a reception gate control process of reading a received frame from the reception queue based on the gate control setting,
• wherein in the allocation step, when a transfer device includes a corresponding reception queue for an identifier assigned to a received frame, the received frame is stored in the corresponding reception queue, and when the transfer device does not include a corresponding queue, the received frame is transmitted to the reception gate control process.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a transfer program that causes a computer to execute:

• a frame identification process of assigning a corresponding identifier to a received frame based on content of the received frame;
• an allocation process of storing a received frame in a reception queue corresponding to an identifier assigned to the received frame;
• a setting process of setting a gate control setting to set open/close information of a reception queue, the gate control setting being set for causing a received frame that has violated a communication cycle to wait in the reception queue;
• and
• a reception gate control process of reading a received frame from the reception queue based on the gate control setting,
• wherein when a transfer device includes a corresponding reception queue for an identifier assigned to a received frame, the allocation process stores the received frame in the corresponding reception queue, and when the transfer device does not include a corresponding queue, the allocation process transmits the received frame to the reception gate control process.
