Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a designation unit configured to designate a connection-destination communication apparatus, a determination unit configured to determine, based on whether identification information about the connection-destination communication apparatus designated by the designation unit is registered, whether to skip protocol switching processing for switching from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol, and an execution unit configured to execute the protocol switching processing to switch from the first communication protocol to the second communication protocol in a case where the determination unit determines not to skip the protocol switching processing.
