Communication apparatus and band control method

摘要

A communication apparatus includes: an attaching unit configured to attach, to an input frame to be processed in the communication apparatus, a frame identifier of the input frame and a band control correction value corresponding to the frame identifier and the output port; a correction unit configured to correct an amount of data of the frame to be output to a network via the output port, based on the band control correction value; a band control unit configured to control a band of each of the output ports, based on the amount of data of the frame corrected by the correction unit; and an editing unit configured to edit, according to the frame identifier, a frame that the attached frame identifier and correction value thereof has been removed from and that has been band controlled, the edited frame being output to the network via the output port.

1. A communication apparatus that receives a frame input via an input port and outputs a frame via an output port, the communication apparatus comprising:
an interface card, from among of a plurality of interface cards, configured to:
a frame identifier and a band control correction value corresponding to the frame identifier and the output port to the input frame; and a switch card configured to:
correct an amount of data of the frame to be output to a network via the output port, based on the band control correction value;control a band of the output port, based on the corrected amount of data of the frame; andedit, according to the frame identifier, a frame that the attached frame identifier and correction value thereof has been removed from and that has been band controlled, the edited frame being output to the network via the output port.
