ROUTER DEVICE, SHAPING METHOD, A RECORDING MEDIUM WHERE PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING SHAPING METHOD IS RECORDED

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively utilize an ATM band. SOLUTION: An IP packet is received from a LAN side (step S201), and the IP packet is converted into an ATM cell (step S203). A VC shaping is performed with the ATM cell so that the total of a plurality of VC capacities set in the VP of predetermined capacity exceeds the capacity of VP (step S204), and a shaping process is performed so that the total of the plurality of VC capacities is equal to or less than the VP capacity (step S205). Then the VP shaping is so performed as to be appropriate for the ATM network (step S206), which is outputted to the ATM network (step S207).
