Abstract:
1. A wireless terminal for processing packets received via a wireless link between the wireless terminal and another wireless terminal, and using the wireless link as a communication path to the another wireless terminal, the wireless terminal comprising: a routing protocol processing unit for executing a process of a routing packet received from the another wireless terminal via the wireless link, the process being necessary for using the wireless link as the communication path; a stabilization algorithm executing unit; a packet categorizing unit; and a wireless communication interface sending and receiving the packets to and from the wireless link, wherein when the wireless communication interface receives a packet from the another wireless terminal via the wireless link, the packet categorizing unit determines whether the received packet is a routing packet necessary for the process or not, if the packet categorizing unit determines that the received packet is a routing packet, the received packet is transmitted to the stabilization algorithm executing unit, and if the packet categorizing unit determines that the received packet is not a routing packet, the received packet is not transmitted to the stabilization algorithm executing unit, and wherein the stabilization algorithm executing unit:
