| 1. A communication device comprising:
a protocol processing order data generator which detects a protocol attribute included in a packet received and generates
protocol processing order data indicating a protocol processing order based on the protocol attribute; and
a protocol converter which individually processes a plurality of protocols within the received packet based on the protocol
processing order data, wherein the protocol processing order data generator generates a total number of protocol processings
corresponding to the protocol attribute as the protocol processing order data, and the protocol converter sequentially processes
the protocols set in the received packet from the head by the total number of protocol processings.
