PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relay device capable of executing processing without caring about the performance of a bridge section for executing software processing. SOLUTION: The relay device is used to relay a packet including at least determination information for determining whether the packet is for management or for data communication and transmission path identifying information for identifying a packet transmission path which is connected between two points. The relay device is provided with a management packet bridge section 23 and a data packet bridge section 24. The data packet bridge section receives and stores the transmission path identifying information from the management packet bridge section, and transmits a received packet in which transmission path identifying information included therein matches the transmission path identifying information stored in the data packet bridge section and the determination information is for data communication, through the own bridge section, and delivers other packets to the management packet bridge section. The management packet is transmitted through the management packet bridge section. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
