SWITCHING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD OF SWITCHING DEVICE

摘要

A plurality of internal queues that receives and stores therein packets and that outputs each of the stored packets is included. Then, a transmission side meter counter and a reception side meter counter acquire transmission/reception information on the packets that are stored in each of the internal queues. A control unit creates, on the basis of the transmission/reception information, flow groups to each of which one or a plurality of flows belongs and allocates the internal queues to the flow groups. A scheduler determines, on the basis of the transmission/reception information and previously determined priority of the internal queues, the order in which each of the internal queues is output.

1. A switching device comprising:
a plurality of queues that receives and stores therein packets and that outputs each of the stored packets; an information acquiring unit that acquires transmission/reception information on the packets stored in each of the queues; a grouping unit that creates, on the basis of the transmission/reception information acquired by the information acquiring unit, a plurality of flow groups to each of which one or a plurality of flows belongs and that allocates the queues to each of the flow groups; and a scheduling unit that determines, on the basis of the transmission/reception information acquired by the information acquiring unit and on the basis of previously determined priority of the queues, the order in which each of the queues is output.
