ABSTRACT:
A processor includes a communication control unit for communicating with an external network device via a connecting unit. A power control unit switches a power mode between a normal power mode and a power saving mode. A packet processing unit includes a first determining unit that determines whether a packet processing is needed for a packet received when the power saving mode is set and a second determining unit that determines, when it is determined that the packet processing is needed, whether the packet processing is available. The power control unit switches the power mode based on a result of determination by the second determining unit.
