Abstract
Header data representing a frame form and a protocol is divided into each two bytes to set a plurality of search sequences, and, for each sequence, an entry comprising the divided two bytes serving as Key Data, a search identifier comprising Group number and Sequence number, and associative data representing the contents of search control is created. The entry is preliminarily registered in a protocol table. Each time when frame data is stored in a frame buffer, a search is performed in the protocol table using 2 bytes as a key positioned at a specific position of the frame data by a protocol analysis portion, and the search in the protocol table is repeated until a search is terminated according to the contents of the associative data read out from the protocol table by the search.
