DOWNSTREAM FRAME TRANSFER DEVICE, TRANSFER METHOD AND TRANSFER PROGRAM
Abstract:
A transfer device includes: a frame information acquisition unit configured to monitor downstream frames between host devices and OLTs and calculate a statistical value of the downstream frames per a fixed cycle; a frame storage unit configured to store the downstream frames in a plurality of queues; a frame sorting unit configured to input the downstream frames to the queues; and a distribution control unit configured to determine the number of frames to be sequentially input to the queues and increase the number of distributed frames of at least one of the host devices input to an OLT, the OLT having a smaller value of a total number of frames input from all the host devices than a maximum number of rounded frames obtained by dividing a value of a total number of frames input until the frames of all the host devices take turns around the plurality of queues by the number of OLTs. As a result, a delay requirement can be satisfied while a memory size of the queue and power consumption required for the frame sorting process are reduced.
