Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A signal transfer device comprising:
a buffer unit including a plurality of buffers;
a sorting unit configured to sort an input signal to any of the plurality of buffers based on header information;
a rate calculation unit configured to calculate a rate at which the input signal is read from each of the plurality of buffers based on burst information of the input signal;
an adjustment unit configured to adjust a rate at which the input signal is read from each of the plurality of buffers based on the rate calculated by the rate calculation unit; and
a transfer unit configured to transfer the signal read from each of the plurality of buffers,
wherein the burst information includes a burst period, and
wherein the rate calculation unit calculates the rate at which the input signal is read from each of the plurality of buffers so that signal intervals are equally spaced in the burst period.
