COMMUNICATION NODE, CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF CONTROL INFORMATION ENTRIES AND PROGRAM

摘要

The communication node includes an entry memory adapted to store a preset number of the control information entries, each stipulating the processing applied to a packet received, in association with the user information, and a packet processor that references the entry memory to process the packet received. The communication node also includes an entry management section that exercises control so that, on the basis of a preset reference, the proportion of the number of the control information entries for one user stored in the entry memory to the number of the control information entries storable in the entry memory will not surpass a preset value.
