Abstract
A traffic control apparatus at which packets of a plurality of packet flows arrive includes a plurality of buffers corresponding to a plurality of times, a selector configured to read a packet accumulated in one of the plurality of buffers corresponding to a current time, and a scheduler configured to decide one of the plurality of buffers to accumulate a packet of each of the plurality of packet flows. The scheduler attempts, for each of the plurality of packet flows, accumulation of packets which are reached during a predetermined period under a condition that, as quantity of packets accumulated in the plurality of buffers is larger, the number of buffers into which packets can be accumulated becomes smaller after the predetermined period.
