<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a packet switch device which switches fixed-length packets to perform efficient transmission even when variable-length packets like IP packets are inputted. SOLUTION: The packet switch device has plural input buffer parts, a packet switch part, a pipeline scheduling process means 32 which uses unit times as many as output lines for sending-out scheduling processes for fixed-length packets from the input buffer parts and performs plural sending-out scheduling processes as many as the input lines in parallel, and a sending-out state managing means 33 which manages the sending-out state of fixed-length packets constituting one frame by the respective input lines, and is equipped with plural scheduler parts 3 which are provided corresponding to one of output lines and at least one result notification part 4 which informs corresponding input buffer parts of the result information of the sending-out scheduling processes of the scheduler parts.</p> |
