Abstract
A protocol high-speed processing method to be used in a first communication control equipment for communications with a second communication equipment connected through a transmission line in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol. The communication control equipment predicts the type of communication frame to be received next from the communication line, in accordance with type of communication frame previously transmitted to or received from said transmission line, and prepares information necessary for a process of receiving said predicted communication frame and information of a part of the communication frame to be transmitted subsequent to the receiving process, to await the reception of a next communication frame. As a result, the receiving process time and the response process time can be reduced when the actually received communication frame is consistent with the predicted one.
