1. A communication device comprising:
communication circuitry that receives a frame;
error detection circuitry that performs an error detection process of detecting an error in the frame;
transfer circuitry that transfers the frame to frame storage of a transfer destination without waiting for completion of the error detection process; and
transfer disablement control circuitry that, when an error is detected by the error detection circuitry, disables transfer by the transfer circuitry,
wherein
when not disabling the transfer by the transfer circuitry, the transfer disablement control circuitry updates meta-information of the transferred frame, and when disabling the transfer by the transfer circuitry, the transfer disablement control circuitry does not update the meta-information of the transferred frame, and
when the meta-information is updated, the transfer disablement control circuitry notifies the transfer destination that the meta-information is updated, and when the meta-information is not updated, the transfer disablement control circuitry does not notify the transfer destination of updating of the meta-information.
