1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a first communication unit that communicates with a transmission source apparatus over a network; a second communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus; a storage unit that stores destination information of the transmission source apparatus; a determination unit that determines whether or not to send an acknowledgement response from the communication apparatus to the transmission source apparatus, based on the destination information, when reception data contains a request for the acknowledgement response; and a response control unit, in which when the acknowledgement response is permitted, the response control unit sends an acknowledgement to the transmission source apparatus by using the first communication unit, and when the acknowledgement response is not permitted, the response control unit transfers the reception data to the external apparatus by using the second communication unit.
