Abstract
An apparatus relays a packet transmitted from and to an information processor via plurality of ports. The apparatus stores, in a memory, first information identifying the information processor in association with a port from which the packet is to be transmitted. When a first packet is received via a first port, the apparatus determines whether second information contained in the first packet and identifying a transmission destination of the first packet is stored in the memory. When the second information is stored in the memory, the apparatus transmits the first packet from a second port associated with the second information, and otherwise transmits the first packet from third ports that are sequentially selected, from among the plurality of ports other than the first port, in variable order that is dynamically determined based on a current traffic state of the plurality of ports.
