A transmission device includes a determining unit operable to determine whether a number of packets stored in a buffer is equal to or smaller than a second threshold value smaller than a first threshold value when transmission of a selected packet is requested by a requesting unit; a storing controller operable to control storing of the selected packet in the buffer when the determining unit determines that the number of packets stored in the buffer is equal to or smaller than the second threshold value, and so as not to store the selected packet in the buffer when the determining unit determines that the number of packets stored in the buffer exceeds the second threshold value; and an output controller operable to control output of the selected packet stored in the buffer to a control program for controlling transmission of the selected packet by hardware based on a queue when the transmission of the selected packet is requested by the requesting unit.
