Abstract:
A bus control device ( 401 a ) includes a storage ( 408 ) that stores a transmission order of data pieces transmitted from a first node ( 402 ) to each second node ( 403 ); a sorter ( 413 ) that receives data pieces transferred from each second node toward the first node and refers to a predefined sorting rule to determine a sorting destination of each data piece; a buffer ( 409 ) that stores the sorted data pieces while classifying the sorted data pieces by the second node as a transmission source; and a connection controller ( 410 ) that refers to change permission/rejection information indicating whether or not an order is permitted to be changed while the data piece is transferred from each second node to the first node, and transmits data pieces, the order of which is not changed, from the buffer to the first node in the same order as the transmission order stored on the storage.

Claim (Index 10):
A relay device provided in a bus system in which a first node and a plurality of second nodes are connected by a packet-exchange-system bus configured on an integrated circuit, the relay device relaying data pieces to be transmitted and received between the first node and each of the plurality of second nodes, the relay device comprising:\n a relay buffer that stores data pieces received from the bus; a relay controller that transmits the data pieces stored on the relay buffer to either one of the plurality of second nodes; an order storage that stores a transmission order of the data pieces transmitted to each of the second nodes; a sorter that receives data pieces transferred from each of the second nodes toward the first node and refers to a predefined sorting rule to determine a sorting destination of each of the data pieces; a buffer that stores the sorted data pieces in the state where the sorted data pieces are classified by the second node as a transmission source of each of the data pieces; a connection controller that refers to change permission/rejection information indicating whether or not the first node permits the transmission order of the data pieces included in a transaction on a transmission path to be changed, said change permission/rejection information determined prior to an initiation of the transaction, and performs control such that data pieces, the order of which is not permitted to be changed, are transmitted from the buffer to the first node in the same order as the transmission order stored on the order storage; and a transmission controller controlled by the connection controller to output the data pieces to the bus.
