Abstract
In order to perform functional packet copying to read a large amount of data of an unspecified length from a memory at high speed and to prevent the packet copying operation from affecting other packet flow, a self-synchronous transfer control circuit having a function of controlling transfer operation is used, by which the number of packet copies output from a data holding register is managed by a counter, and the number of copies represented by the copy request packet and the counter count value are compared by a comparator, to determine completion of the packet copying operation.
