Abstract
A processing rate monitoring apparatus includes an appearance interval counter for counting a packet interval in a monitored connection at a real number level, and a determining arrangement, operable each time a packet corresponding to a monitored connection is detected, to compare a count value on the appearance interval counter indicating a time elapsed from the previous detection to the detection of the packet with an allowed value for an appearance interval calculated from a transmission rate of the monitored connection to determine the presence or absence of a transmission rate violation in a current monitoring cycle.
