1. A communication device comprising:
one or more processors, which control a first communication flow performed by a first terminal and
a second communication flow performed by a second terminal, wherein both of the first communication flow and
the second communication flow pass through a sharing section and
the second communication flow has a higher priority than a priority of the first communication flow,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to: acquire a communication delay in the sharing section;
acquire a rated delay of the second communication flow,
the rated delay is a communication delay allowed to the second communication flow; and
limit input of data from the first communication flow and the second communication flow to the sharing section based on
(i) a comparison result between the communication delay of the sharing section and the rated delay and
(ii) the priorities of the first communication flow and the second communication flow.
