<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network relay apparatus applying routing to a first packet and transferring succeeding packets of the same communication data by utilizing the routing result of the first packet so as to relieve the processing load on the succeeding packets thereby transferring the packets at high speed. <P>SOLUTION: A packet processing section 23 searches a routing process management table 24 for the first packet of communication data to discriminate whether or not a routing process 27 for the same destination is present. Only when no routing process 27 for the same destination is present as a result, an ordinary routing processing section 25 searches its internal routing table to apply routing to the packet. The network relay apparatus utilizes the routing process 27 to transmit the first packet for which the routing process 27 to the same destination is present or the succeeding packets. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
