Abstract
A communication device includes a memory to store data and a processor to receive data, to convert the received data and a same data of the received data among the stored data into a predetermined format, and to transmit data resulting from the data conversion.
Claims16
A communication device comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- receive packets via a communication interface;
- control storing each of the packets in corresponding queues of a working path in accordance with a priority corresponding to each of the packets;
- control storing a copied packet corresponding to each of the packets in corresponding queues of a protection path in accordance with the priority corresponding to each of the packets out of synchronization with a timing of the storing each of the packets in the corresponding queues of the working path;
- determine whether a packet and a copied packet identified by a same identifier are stored in each of one of the queues of the working path and one of the queues of the protection path;
- prioritize packets having the same identifier stored in the queues of the working path and the queues of the protection path based on a priority control and the priority corresponding to the packets;
- convert a packet identified by the same identifier into another format in accordance with order complying with the priority control;
- and
- transmit a converted data resulting from the conversion.
