Packet transfer method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A packet transfer apparatus which is connected to a packet communication network and transfers a packet from a transmission terminal to a reception terminal, comprising:
- packet classifying means for identifying a connection used for transfer of data between the transmission terminal and the reception terminal from not less than one field contained in a header of a reception packet received from the transmission terminal and detecting establishment and release of the connection; and
a scheduler which performs transfer control on a reception packet for each connection on the basis of connection information of each connection identified by said packet classifying means.

Abstract
A packet transfer apparatus includes a packet classifying section and scheduler. The packet classifying section identifies a connection used for transfer of data between a transmission terminal and a reception terminal from not less than one field contained in a header of a reception packet received from the transmission terminal and detects establishment and release of the connection. The scheduler performs transfer control on a reception packet for each connection on the basis of the connection information of each connection identified by the packet classifying section. A packet transfer method and a program are also disclosed.
