Abstract
The packet relay apparatus is provided. The packet relay apparatus includes a receiver that receives a packet; and a determiner that determines to drop the received packet without storing the received packet into a queue among the multi-stage queue. The determiner determines to drop the received packet at a latter stage, based on former-stage queue information representing a state of a queue at any former stage which the received packet belongs to and latter-stage queue information representing a state of a queue at the latter stage which the received packet belongs to.
