FAIRNESS CONTROL CIRCUIT, NODE DEVICE, FAIRNESS CONTROL METHOD, AND FAIRNESS CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fairness control circuit avoiding a phenomenon of a communication bandwidth being decreased at a relay node device relaying traffic.;SOLUTION: A fairness control circuit comprises: advertisement processing means 2 for performing prescribed advertisement processing of transmitting a fairness frame including an appropriate communication rate at its own node device 10 to an upstream node device 20 in order to perform fairness control; and relay node determination means 3 for determining whether the own node device 10 is a relay node or not. If the relay node determination means 3 has determined the own device 10 is a relay node, the advertisement processing means 2 controls so as not to perform the prescribed advertisement processing regarding the own node device 10.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
