<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a source traffic that possibly occupies a buffer, by much reducing the overflow of an output buffer in convergence. SOLUTION: At the output port of a switching hub SW01, the flow rate of a transmitted packet is monitored for each input source port, and a pause packet is transmitted to the input source port exceeding an allocated flow rate, when the output port is converged Also, the amount of usage of an output buffer 28 is monitored, thus transmitting the pause packet to the input source port being transmitted exceeding a given threshold.</p> |
