Claim Text:
1. A router usable in a data transfer system which includes a first node for transmitting data, a second node for receiving the data transmitted from the first node, and a plurality of routers for routing the data transferred between the first node and the second node via a bus; the router comprising: an input section configured to receive an input of data; a buffer section including a plurality of data storage sections configured to store the data received by the input section; an output section configured to output the data stored on the buffer section; an allocation processing section configured to determine whether or not to store the data on a pre-secured specific data storage section among the plurality of data storage sections, and whether or not to store the data on a pre-secured specific data storage section among a plurality of data storage sections in a buffer section of another router which is an output destination, the determination being made based on information representing burstiness of the data received by the input section; and a bypass control section that determines whether to perform a normal process of outputting the data using the buffer section or to perform a bypass process of outputting the data not using the buffer section, wherein when the bypass control section determines to perform the bypass process, the allocation processing section determines to store the data on a pre-secured specific data storage section among a plurality of data storage sections in a buffer section of another router which is an output destination.
