Abstract
[Problem] In a case where a plurality of packets are compiled for transmission to a network, the length of data to be continuously transmitted to each of a plurality of destinations is increased and hence the time interval in which the packet(s) addressed to each destination gets a transmission opportunity is increased, with the result that the packet delay is disadvantageously increased. [Solution] A packet extraction unit (of FIG.) extracts a plurality of packets as a whole from a packet compilation queue (of FIG.) that sorts, according to destinations, and stores packets. A limited number of packets to be extracted as a whole at this time is given in accordance with a maximum packet compilation number defined by a maximum compilation number calculation unit (of FIG.) on the basis of a band increase and a delay increase due to a packet compilation.
