COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR COMMUNICATION

摘要

[Problem] To provide a communication device that can suppress imbalances in the amount of data transmitted by each communication line in cases where data is transferred using a plurality of communication lines. [Solution] A splitting unit (81) splits a frame that has been input. A distributing unit (82) distributes the split frame in accordance with the output band of each of a plurality of lines. A transmission unit (83) transmits the distributed frame. The distributing unit (82) distributes the frame to a line having the smallest remaining output weight, which indicates the ratio of the remaining amount of data that can be output per predetermined period by each line to the amount of data that can be output in a unit time which is set as the output band for each line. The transmission unit (83) transmits a dummy frame equivalent to the remaining amount of data upon the lapse of the predetermined period.
