1. A communication device, comprising:
a LINK that generates a first output signal on a basis of a first external signal from a first external device, outputs the first output signal to a second external device, generates a second output signal on a basis of a second external signal from the second external device, and outputs the second output signal to the first external device, wherein
each of the first output signal and the second external signal includes
command information indicating content of a command transmitted from the first external device,
final-destination-device-identification-information for identifying a final destination device of data transmitted from the first external device,
internal address information indicating an internal address of the final destination device,
data length information indicating a length of the data transmitted from the first external device, and
data-end-position-information indicating an end position of the data transmitted from the first external device.
