Abstract

The efficiency of a processor in which a packet is stored in a receiver buffer, processed in a central processing unit, and sent out via a transmitter buffer, is low. According to the invention, data is transferred to a high-speed memory via the receiver memory. When the high-speed memory is filled with data, the data is processed by the CPU, and the packet is transmitted from the high-speed memory via the transmitter memory. A competition control section is provided to control data accesses in the sequential operation.
