PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To comprise a communication apparatus of irreducible minimum packet processing circuits in accordance with the quantity of packets and packet classes.SOLUTION: A network interface of the communication apparatus includes: a plurality of packet processing modules each for performing any arbitrary processing on at least a part of packets; a module distribution management table; a plurality of module distribution sections each for referring to the module distribution management table to distribute at least a part of packets to one packet processing module in a packet processing module group corresponding to a class of the packets; and a network interface management section which updates a packet processing circuit program of a class that should be added to a packet processing module of a module addition destination when module addition setting is received, and adds information of the packet processing module to the packet processing module group of the added class managed by the module distribution management table. |
