Packet processing device and network system

Abstract

A packet processing device includes: a non-priority packet storage that stores the non-priority packet; a gate provided on an output side of the non-priority packet storage; plural priority packet storages that respectively store the priority packet; a distributer that guides a received priority packet to a priority packet storage corresponding to a delay time of a route through which the received priority packet is transmitted; a timing setting unit that sets different read cycles to respective priority packet storages; a read controller that reads priority packets from the plural priority packet storages according to the read cycles; and a gate controller that controls the gate according to the timings on which the read priority packets are output. When the read controller reads a first priority packet from one of the priority packet storages, the read controller reads a second priority packet from another priority packet storage.
