Abstract

A communication apparatus includes a temperature sensor, a memory, and a processor. The temperature sensor measures temperature. The memory stores association groups of packet transmission rates associated with at least one of individual ports and individual transmission flows. The processor selects, based on the measured temperature, one of the association groups for suppressing heat generation, and controls reception rates using the packet transmission rates of the selected association group.
