Abstract
There is disclosed the relay apparatus which can detect the data length and the communication time interval of the received packet, and based on these results of detection, set the communication band of a channel for sending out this received packet.
Claims14
A relay apparatus comprising:
- packet receiving unit for receiving an input packet, wherein said packet includes an actual time when said packet itself has been transmitted;
- data length detecting unit for detecting a data length of the packet received by the receiving unit;
- time interval detecting unit for detecting the communication time interval of the packet received by said packet receiving unit by means of calculating a time interval between said actual time when the packet itself has been transmitted and an actual time when another packet has been transmitted, the packet and the other packet received at a different time from each other by said packet receiving it;
- and
- band setting unit for setting the communication band of a channel for sending out the packet received by said packet receiving unit, based on the data length detected by said data length detecting unit and the communication time interval detected by said time interval detecting unit.
2 more elements
The relay apparatus according to clam 1, wherein said band setting unit calculates said communication band by dividing the total value of said data lengths for a predetermined number of packets by the total value of said communication time intervals for them.
