Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus comprising a jitter buffer that writes and reads packets transmitted via a packet network from a transmission node, a clock correction unit that obtains an inter-packet jitter, based on difference information between time stamp information at the time of reception of the packet on a receiving side and time stamp information attached to the packet at the time of transmission of the packet by a transmission node with regards to packets received before and after and obtains a transmission frequency and a PLL unit that receives frequency information from the clock correction unit and generates a clock of the frequency. A scheduler uses a frequency from the PLL unit as a transmission frequency to transmit a packet from the jitter buffer unit.

Abstract: A switch device used in a ring network operating based upon a protocol prescribed to prevent a loop from occurring includes: a transmission section that periodically transmits a predetermined control frame defined in the protocol out to a communication line in the ring network; a reception section that receives a control frame from the ring network; and a determination section that determines the occurrence of a loop when source address information in the received control frame is identical to address information on the transmission section and also when the received control frame is a predetermined control frame defined in the protocol.
