Abstract

In a communication control apparatus comprising a receiving section which receives reception cells supplied from a network via a physical layer device and which includes a memory for selectively storing the reception cells as stored cells, the receiving section comprises an address filtering section for identifying a value of a particular address included in a payload field of a first cell for a reception packet to produce an address filtered signal indicative of an identified value. A write-in control section determines whether or not the reception packet should be received on the basis of the identified value indicated by the address filtered signal. The write-in control section writes the reception packet in the memory when the reception packet should be received. The write-in control section discards the reception packet without writing it in the memory when the reception packet should be not received.
