Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a) input means for inputting variable length packet data including packet length information indicative of a packet length and encoded information data; b) judgment means for judging the packet length of the variable length packet data; and c) packet generating means for generating the variable length packet data into fixed length packet data in accordance with an output of said judgment means, and transmitting the fixed length packet data, wherein said packet generating means includes memory means for generating fixed length data and initializing means for initializing beforehand said memory means by writing stuffing data in said memory means, and said packet generating means generates the fixed length data by overwriting the variable length packet data into the initialized memory means in accordance with the packet length judged by said judgment means and reading out the data from said memory means, and said packet generating means generates the fixed length packet data in which the stuffing data is written, in case that the variable length packet data to be written into said memory means is shorter than a predetermined length.
