<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer system attributing to power savings within a single device or multiple devices by realizing power consumption corresponding to the traffic volume received from each input line in a packet transfer device using a distributed architecture. <P>SOLUTION: In the packet transfer device using a distributed architecture, when packet inputs into a line card are few, search processing of a destination line card to be carried out on the receiving side of the line card is performed by another line card instead. On the receiving side of the line card which has required no search processing, the power supply or clock supply of a circuit associated with such processing is stopped, thus realizing power savings of the device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
