Abstract
A data transfer apparatus is provided for monitoring the bandwidth of a first and a second flow, comprises flow detecting means for comparing information in a header field of a packet with the first and second detection conditions to detect a flow to which the packet belongs, compliance/violation determining means for measuring the bandwidth of the packet belonging to the detected flow to determine whether the packet complies with or violates a traffic condition which is set corresponding to each flow detection condition, and packet processing determining means for determining processing for a packet which satisfies both the first and second flow conditions based on the compliance/violation determination results corresponding to both traffic conditions, and determining processing for a packet which satisfies one of the first and second flow conditions based on the compliance/violation result corresponding to the flow detection condition satisfied by the packet.
