Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes a reception protocol processing unit, a control information queue, and a transmission protocol processing unit. The reception protocol processing unit performs a protocol process using control information included in a received frame, acquires the control information from the received frame, and acquires data when the data is included in the frame. The control information queue stores control information including at least one of a reception window size of other communication apparatus, area information representing an area of data received by the other communication apparatus, the reception window size of the communication apparatus, and area information representing an area of data received by the communication apparatus. The transmission protocol processing unit performs a protocol process using the control information stored in the control information queue, generates a frame of a transmission target, and transmits the frame through the network interface unit.
