Abstract
A transfer device operates within a network including a plurality of transfer devices and a control device. The transfer device includes a processor and a network connecting device. The network connecting device receives a packet. When a packet received from any of the plurality of transfer devices does not satisfy a process condition notified from the control device, the processor performs control such that a request message is not transmitted until a specified time period elapses from reception of the received packet. The request message is a message for requesting the control device to notify the transfer device of a process applicable to the received packet. When process information, which is information representing the process applicable to the received packet, has been obtained by the time the specified time period elapses, the processor processes the received packet in accordance with the process information.
