<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication apparatus capable of expanding a band control rate for the unit of a LAG group up to a total rate of physical bands of respective links. <P>SOLUTION: In a communication apparatus, a rate of traffic for LAG ports is classified into more precise flow units according to predetermined classification rules by a LAG flow classifying unit 11a<SB>23</SB>. In transfer from flow band control units 11a<SB>2a</SB>-11a<SB>2d</SB>through a switch card 13 for switching connection for the unit of a flow to the LAG port of an output side line card, in response to a rate notification from the switch card 13, determined based on a monitor result of the transmission rate of the LAG port, the distribution of traffic for the LAG port is adjusted for the unit of a flow. In a case where the rate of traffic for the LAG port exceeds a physical band of the link connected to the relevant port, in the flow band control units 11a<SB>2a</SB>-11a<SB>2d</SB>, the traffic for the relevant port is switched to the another port within the same LAG group for the unit of a flow. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
