Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce load on a network connecting a control device and a packet transfer device.SOLUTION: A packet transfer device is connected with a control device through a network and performs processing on a packet received by the device in accordance with processing operations for the packet specified by the control device. The packet transfer device comprises: a storage section in which processing operations for packets are stored; a buffer which accumulates packets of which processing operations are not stored in the storage section out of received packets; and a control section which performs processing for transmitting an inquiry message which inquires the respective processing operations of a plurality of packets accumulated in the buffer and includes a set of the plurality of packets to the control device through the network.
【課題】制御装置とパケット転送装置とを結ぶネットワークの負荷低減を図る。【解決手段】制御装置とネットワークを介して接続され、制御装置が指定したパケットの処理内容に従って自装置で受信されるパケットに対する処理を行うパケット転送装置であって、パケットの処理内容を記憶した記憶部と、受信されたパケットのうち記憶部に処理内容が記憶されていないパケットを蓄積するバッファと、バッファに蓄積された複数のパケットの夫々の処理内容を問い合わせる問い合わせメッセージであって複数のパケットの集合を含んだ問い合わせメッセージを制御装置へネットワークを介して送信する処理を行う制御部とを含む。【選択図】図18 |
