Abstract

A packet shaping device for the purpose of shaping a packet in which burst has grown in a router to an original packet without the burst growth is disclosed. The packet shaping device monitors an arrival time TA of each packet on which a pass time TP is recorded when the packet passes a prescribed pass point and calculates a delay time TD which is a time difference between the pass time TP and the arrival time TA. Then, the packet shaping device obtains a maximum delay time TDmax among the delay times, and delays and sends all the arrived packets in such that the delay time of all the arrived packets is equivalent to the maximum delay time.
