ABSTRACT:
In a packet communication network in which the minimum guaranteed rate and maximum limiting rate of packet transfer are contracted for each service, this invention classifies flows corresponding to received packets into group 1 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate is less than the minimum guaranteed rate belongs, group 2 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate is equal to or higher than the minimum guaranteed rate and less than the maximum limiting rate belongs, and group 3 to which a flow whose packet transfer rate exceeds the maximum limiting rate belongs.
