PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep the previously designated number of output packets, while ensuring real-time characteristics of high-priority traffic. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a counter initial value setting section 27 for setting the total number of packets, capable of being transmitted in a prescribed period of time and setting the details of the total packets, and a priority queue section 22 for inputting packets of high-priority traffic and packets of low-priority traffic, outputting the inputted packets of high-priority traffic, regardless of the number of total packets and the details, and outputting the packets of low-priority traffic, on the basis of the details. If the number of total outputted packets exceeds the number of total packets, the section 27 updates the details by the exceeded number, and sets the updated details.
