An apparatus includes a first device, a second, a receiving buffer which is provided in the second device and holds packets transmitted from the first device, each of the packets being either one packet including a header and variable-length data or an another packet including a header and not data, a unit which counts a first value indicative of a size of a processed header and a second value indicative of a size of processed data based on a size of each of a header and data included in each of the packets output from the receiving buffer, and a unit which transmits flow control information, which indicates a size of each of a header and data that are receivable by the second device, to the first device when the first value or the second value reaches a corresponding reference value.
