Buffer (2) temporarily stores a packet transmitted from transmission node (1). Counter (3) measures the size (length) of the packet sent from buffer (2), and memory (4) temporarily stores the value of counter (3). Register (5) stores a desired bandwidth, and register (6) stores the maximum transmission physical bandwidth of transmission node (1). Arithmetic circuit (7) calculates the size of an IFG to be inserted, on the basis of the data in memory (4), register (5), and register (6). Counter (8) counts the IFG size calculated by arithmetic circuit (7). Counter (9) measures the remaining capacity of buffer (2), and pause generator (10) generates a pause frame according to the value of counter (9) and outputs it to transmission node (1).
