Vorrichtung und Verfahren zur Weiterleitung von Daten

摘要

There is provided a data relay apparatus and a data relay method which prevent data units from being sent out to a communication network in a burst-like manner by the order assurance function, in consideration of the type of data unit. A type determination section 305 of a data relay apparatus 300 determines the type of a received data unit. An order determination section 304 determines whether or not the arrival order of the received data unit is correct. If it is determined that the arrival order of Ack is not correct, based on the determination results by the order determination section 304 and the type determination section 305, an order assurance function control section 303 disables the order assurance function for the Ack and immediately transmits it.
