VEHICLE-MOUNTED RELAY CONNECTION UNIT

摘要

A message is efficiently relayed in a cut-through mode to a communication line of the transmission destination of a transmission rate higher than that of the communication line of the recipient while preventing the state that there is no data to be transmitted. A vehicle-mounted relay connection unit is used to relay messages received through first CAN communication lines to a second CAN communication line of a transmission rate higher than that of the first transmission lines in a cut-though mode. A relaying section measures the time difference between the time when the reception of the control field of a message among the messages simultaneously received through the first CAN communication lines is completed earliest and the time when the reception of the control field of another message is completed, determines the transmission waiting time from the completion of the reception of the control field of each message, and first relays the message such that the sum of the transmission waiting time and the time difference of the reception completion is small to the second CAN communication line.
