A network connection apparatus includes, a pair of line interface circuits which accommodates each transmission line provided to interface with the circuit-switched network, composes an active line and a standby line of the redundant configuration, and mutually converts data used in the circuit-switched network and a packet used in the packet-switched network; and a packet processing unit which interfaces with the packet-switched network and performs a sending and receiving process of the packet between the line interface circuit and the packet-switched network. The packet processing unit transmits the packet received only from the line interface circuit of the active line to the packet-switched network, and transmits the packet received from the packet-switched network to both of the line interface circuits of the active line and the standby line. The line interface circuit acquires the packet transmitted from the packet processing unit when a destination MAC address included in the packet coincides with a first MAC address which is given to own line interface circuit or a second MAC address which is given to the other line interface circuit of pair for the redundant configuration.
