Abstract:
A layer- 2  switch, forming a communication network along with a communication terminal, includes a plurality of communication ports, frame identification units to identify a specific frame that is regularly transmitted from the communication terminal in the communication network, a setting unit to set a monitoring cycle and a reception threshold for detecting a loop path in the communication network, a monitoring unit to identify, for each of the communication ports, a plurality of communication terminals that are a source of the specific frame, and to count the number of the specific frames received from each of the communication terminals within the monitoring cycle, and a determination unit to determine whether a loop path is detected for each of the communication ports by comparing a counter value, which indicates the number of the specific frames, with the reception threshold, and to execute control to stop transmission and reception of the frame at the communication port at which a loop path is detected.

Claim (Index 2):
The relay device according to  claim 1 , wherein the specific frame is a control frame transmitted from the communication terminal in order to check a state of the communication network.
