TRANSMISSION DEVICE, TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND TRANSMISSION PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a processing burden by distributing reception processing of CCM frames.SOLUTION: A CPU 16 of a transmission device 2 determines whether or not reception processing of CCM frames received from another transmission device 2 of an opposite MEP is in a congestion state. The CPU 16 calculates adjustment amount for adjusting transmission timing of the CCM frames related to the other transmission device 2 of the opposite MEP so that the reception processing of each CCM frame is distributed, when the reception processing is in the congestion state. The CPU 16 of the transmission device 2 transmits the calculated adjustment amount by adding the calculated adjustment amount to a CCM frame addressed to the transmission device 2 of the transmission source MEP. When receiving adjustment amount from another transmission device 2 of another opposite MEP, the CPU 16 of the transmission device 2 adjusts transmission timing of CCM frames to be transmitted to the other transmission device 2 of the other opposite MEP on the basis of the adjustment amount.
