Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a first storage portion storing an address control table registering a MAC address which each of a plurality of communication devices connected to the same local area network has, a comparison portion distinguishing each of the registered MAC addresses by comparing the MAC addresses corresponding to the plurality of communication devices registered in the address control table sequentially in a bit-by-bit manner until the MAC addresses can be distinguished from each other and a control portion determining whether or not data transmitted in the local area network is acquired on the basis of a comparison result.
