Abstract
A conversion device analyzes information of an input packet using hardware and determines whether to perform predetermined previous stage processing using the hardware. Furthermore, when it is determined to perform the previous stage processing, the conversion device uses the hardware to provide metadata including identification information indicating a group of packets to the packets on the basis of the fixed-length header information of the packets. In addition, the conversion device uses software to generate analysis packets corresponding to the group of packets using the provided metadata.
