Abstract

Nodes (N1 to N3) include MTU length calculation sections (31 to 33) which multiply baud rates (D21 to D23) of communication parameters (D11 to D13) set based on results of negotiation with other nodes (N1 to N3) by a communication regulated time used in timer control for transmission/reception, and which calculate MTU lengths as maximum packet lengths of the packets based on the multiplication results so that transmission times of the packets for the destination nodes are equal to each other, and also include communication control sections (21 to 23) which divide data to be transmitted to destination nodes into packets having the calculated MTU length to transmit the packets.
