<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the technology for controlling both reliability and power consumption of data relay. <P>SOLUTION: In a first power mode, each of packet processing sections of a second group maintains its own operating mode in a first operating mode of relatively smaller power consumption, and a distribution section selects a packet processing second in charge of a first priority from a fist group and selects a packet processing section in charge of a second priority from one or more groups other than the second group. In a second power mode, each of the packet processing sections of the second group maintains its own operating mode in a second operating mode of relatively greater power consumption, and the distribution section selects the packet processing section in charge of the first priority from the first group and selects the packet processing section in charge of the second priority from one or more groups including the second group. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
