Abstract
A packet insertion interval control system includes a counting unit ( ), having a first bit field for managing an insertion interval of a management packet required to be cyclically inserted and a second bit field for specifying a logic path for forwarding the management packet, for executing such a counting operation as to periodically cycle the first bit field and the second bit field, and a control unit ( ) for executing control for specifying, when a count value indicated by the first bit field of the counting unit is a predetermined value, the logic path for forwarding the management packet on the basis of a count value indicated by the second bit field of the counting unit, and for inserting the management packet into the specified logic path. With this architecture, it is feasible to restrain an increase in quantity of the hardware and flexibly correspond to changes in the number of connections (number of channels) and the cell insertion interval (packet insertion interval) per communication system.
