Abstract:
A communication device for forming a communication network, which generates a search frame, which is a frame for searching for a communication path in setting a communication path to/from another communication device, transmits the search frame to other communication devices, and selects a communication path with a shortest delay time to each of the other communication devices on the basis of information in the search frame having passed through other communication devices and returned to the communication device.

Claim (Index 6):
A communication network comprising:\n a controller; and an actuator, the controller being a master communication device, the actuator being a slave communication device, wherein the controller includes identification information of the controller and information on a port through which a search frame for searching for a communication path is to be transmitted in the search frame, and transmits the search frame to the actuator, and upon receiving the search frame, the actuator adds information on a port through which the search frame has been received, identification information of the actuator, and information on a port through which the search frame is to be transmitted to the received search frame, and transfers the resulting search frame, wherein the actuator adds the information on the port through which the search frame has been received, the identification information of the actuator, and the information on the port through which the search frame is to be transmitted to the received search frame to obtain a search frame to be transferred, and when a port in operation other than the port through which the search frame has been received is present, transmits the search frame to be transferred through each port in operation, or when no port in operation other than the port through which the search frame has been received is present, transmits the search frame to be transferred through the port through which the search frame has been received.
