Abstract
A communication apparatus that includes a buffer, an acquisition unit, a packet processing unit, and a control unit performs packet communication of image data as audio data via a first channel and performs procedure signal exchange via a second channel. The buffer temporarily stores transmitted and received packets to synchronize the packets between a transmitting and a receiving side. The acquisition unit acquires a number of packets stored in the buffer. The packet processing unit performs packet processing by discarding a packet stored in the buffer where the number of acquired packets exceeds a first threshold value, and inserting a silent packet in the buffer where the number of acquired packets does not exceed a second threshold value. The control unit performs procedure signal exchange according to a packet stored in the buffer in which the number of packets is adjusted upon completion of the performed packet processing.
