ABSTRACT:
A delay in packet output due to packet fragmentation processing is reduced. If input data is output upon being subjected to fragmentation processing, fragmented data, from among a plurality of fragmented data items fragmented based upon a set value in an MTU register, which belongs to a first fragmented packet containing information that is based upon all fragmented packets is stored in a fragment buffer. After all fragmented packets from a second fragmented packet onward to which other fragmented data items belong are output, the first fragmented packet is output.
