Abstract
A communication apparatus is configured to include first and second cards, and a card-to-card link connecting the cards. Each card is communicably connected to another communication apparatus through a route connected to the card. One of the cards is determined to be a primary card that controls data transmission between the communication apparatus and another communication apparatus, and the other card is determined to be a secondary card controlled by the primary card. The primary card establishes a primary data-path for transmitting primary data, using one of the first and second routes connected to the primary card. The primary card further establishes a secondary data-path for transmitting secondary data, using the card-to-card link, the secondary card, and the other one of the first and second routes connected to the secondary card.
