Abstract
In a flow control method for conducting a flow control in a network in that a variable-length frame is transmitted and a minimum inter frame gap being a fixed length is regulated among frames, by setting each variable-length frame to be a subject of the flow control by adding a value corresponding to a fixed-length portion outside a frame region to a frame length of the each variable-length, it is possible to conduct the flow control precisely and easily, independent of the frame length in the variable-length frame network, and it is possible to improve flexibility of a location where to conduct the flow control.
