Abstract
A bandwidth control method is adapted for use in a network device having a system clock. The network device has a register for storing a transmittable data amount to control bandwidth. The method includes: calculating a number of elapsed periods of the system clock so as to change a counting value every predetermined time interval, the counting value being cyclic within a specific range; adjusting the transmittable data amount in the register by a first unit amount when the counting value reaches a first count value; and adjusting the transmittable data amount in the register by a second unit amount after adjusting the transmittable data amount by the first unit amount and elapse of the predetermined time interval and when the counting value corresponds to a second count value. The first count value is different from the second count value, and the first unit amount is different from the second unit amount.
