Abstract
A communication system performs communication between a plurality of nodes connected to each other through a network. Each node includes a plurality of processing sections and a communication control section. Each of the processing sections executes an application program by using received application data, and generates user data. The communication control section performs network protocol processing for network connection between the nodes, and performs communication between the processing sections of the home node. The communication control section adds control information to the user data from the processing section of the home node, converts the user data into data suitable for the network protocol to send the data to the network. The communication control section also extracts the user data from the data received through the network according to the network protocol to output the user data to a corresponding one of the processing section of the home node.
