PACKET COMMUNICATION DEVICE, PACKET COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND PACKET COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

摘要

A packet communication device includes a search unit that searches, when having received a packet, for a combination of a label that identifies a transfer path of the packet and an output unit that outputs the packet to a physical line to which the transfer path is set. Further, the packet communication device includes an identifying unit that identifies a plurality of combinations including a common output unit that is the same output unit combined with a plurality of labels from among the combinations searched by the search unit. Further, the packet communication device includes a multiplex unit that multiplexes the plurality of labels combined with the common output unit in the packet to be output from the common output unit to the physical line when a plurality of combinations including the common output unit has been identified by the identifying unit.

1. A packet communication device comprising:
a search unit that searches, when having received a packet, for a combination of a label that identifies a transfer path of the packet and an output unit that outputs the packet to a physical line to which the transfer path is set; an identifying unit that identifies a plurality of combinations including a common output unit that is the same output unit combined with a plurality of the labels from among the combinations searched by the search unit; and a multiplex unit that multiplexes, when the plurality of combinations including the common output unit has been identified by the identifying unit, the plurality of the labels combined with the common output unit in the packet to be output from the common output unit to the physical line.
