ABSTRACT:
A packet transmission control apparatus has a packet accumulating unit for buffering a plurality of packets. The apparatus further includes a transmission unit for and for transmitting, to a destination node, a front packet included in the plurality of packets buffered in the packet accumulating unit and for transmitting the remaining packets included in the plurality of packets to the destination node after a lapse of a time period starting from a time point of transmission of the front packet. The time period is equal or greater than a sum of predetermined downstream front packet processing time periods, the sum corresponding to a number of nodes the front packet passes through before reaching the destination node.
