Abstract:
1. A bus controller which is arranged on a plurality of network communication buses that connect together a plurality of bus masters, each sending out a packet, and at least one node, to which the packet is sent from each said bus master, in order to control the transmission route of a packet that is flowing through the plurality of communication buses, the bus controller comprising: a route diagram manager configured to manage a plurality of transmission routes leading from the respective bus masters to the at least one node and their respective transmission statuses; a parameter generator configured to generate either a parameter that conforms to a predetermined probability distribution or a parameter that follows a predefined rule; a processor configured to determine the transmission routes leading from the respective bus masters to the at least one node based on the respective transmission statuses of the transmission routes and the parameter so that the packets sent out from the bus masters are distributed over the plurality of transmission routes; and a relay configured to perform relay processing on the packet that is flowing through the communication buses following the transmission routes that have been determined by the processor.
