The packet transmission device including: a first and a second storage module to store a token value; a token controller to add a predetermined token value to a first total token value, and subtract a predetermined token value from the first total value in response to the output of the packet; an overrun state controller to add an excess of the first total token value over a predetermined upper limit value to a second total token value, in the case where the first total token value added by addition control is greater than or equal to the predetermined upper limit value; and an underrun state controller to subtract a predetermined token value from the second total token value and add the subtracted token value to the first total token value, in the case where the subtracted first total token value is less than the predetermined upper limit value.

Packet transmission device and packet transmission method

A shaper circuit includes a storage part storing a current token, an add token, and a max token, a subtraction part subtracting a packet length of a dequeue target from the current token stored in the storage part and storing the current token in the storage part, an addition part adding the add token stored in the storage part to the current token stored in the storage part at constant periodic intervals and storing the current token in the storage part, a comparison part comparing the result of the addition with the max token stored in the storage part and preventing the addition result from exceeding the max token, and a determining part outputting a dequeue permission request. A number of bits in a decimal part of the current token are set and a number of bits in an integer part of the add token are set.
