RELAY DEVICE, RELAY METHOD, AND RELAY PROGRAM

摘要

A fixed delay time storage unit (270) stores a predetermined fixed delay time (271) as an amount of time equal to or greater than the time required for transmission of a typical frame. A frame reception unit (210) receives a synchronization frame. A buffer unit (220) stores the received synchronization frame. A fixed time delay unit (260) measures the elapsed time from receipt of the synchronization frame, and determines whether the measured elapsed time has reached the fixed delay time (271). A frame transmission unit (230) transmits the synchronization frame stored in the buffer unit (220) when the elapsed time is determined to reach the fixed delay time (271).
