Abstract
A packet relay apparatus relaying a packet exchanged between communication apparatuses with a connection established is provided. The packet relay apparatus includes a buffer for storing a packet selected from among arrival packets so that a transfer of the selected packet is to be suspended, and a congestion controller for monitoring, after the storage of the packet on the buffer, a packet passing through the packet relay apparatus, and causing the packet, stored on the buffer, to be transmitted at a timing responsive to a passage status of a packet having the same connection as the connection of the packet stored on the buffer.
