A packet communication system which communicates various communication information such as voice, data or images in the form of a packet and which provides a transmission quality which satisfies both of high instantaneousness and low discard properties and a method of controlling the system. A counter counts the respective numbers of stays of packets in priority-classified buffers. The percentages of output of packets from the respective buffers and both of the percentages of output of packets from and the percentages of input of packets to the respective buffers are controlled in accordance with the counted numbers of stays of packets in the respective buffers and information on the priorities of the packets.
