A node apparatus includes ready queue lists, state variable storing section, state variable temporary storing section, and output control section. In the ready queue lists, the numbers of queues in a ready state for packet transmission are written. Each list manages the order in which the numbers were written. The state variable storing section holds state variables associated with all queues. The state variable temporary storing section temporarily stores only state variables associated with queues whose numbers fall within a predetermined range from the start of the list means and is smaller in data amount than the state variable storing section. The output control section transmits a packet from a queue having a number extracted from the start of the list and updates the state variable of the queue in the state variable temporary storing section. A method of transmitting packets is also disclosed.
