Packet communication system and packet communication method for use in the same system

摘要

A packet communication system capable of realizing a system having superior impartiality of throughput between flows without degradation of switch characteristics is provided. Shaping weight calculating portions 13-1 to 13-n calculate rates by using feedback type rate control system. In-padding information inserting portions 11-1 to 11-n input information required between IF portions 1-1 to 1-n to padding portions. In-padding information extracting portions 15-1 to 15-n extract necessary information received from a switch portion 2. Internal communication packet producing portions 12-1 to 12-n produce internal packets for transmitting information when there is no padding occurred. Internal communication packet extracting portions 14-1 to 14-n extract information from the internal packets.
