Original Abstract Submitted
A relaying apparatus is installed in a vehicle and relays data transmitted and received between a plurality of vehicle-mounted ECUs. The relaying apparatus includes: a plurality of communication units for communicating with each of the vehicle-mounted ECUs; a plurality of control units that one-to-one correspond to the plurality of communication units; and a storage unit that is accessible from each of the plurality of control units. Each of the plurality of control units separately performs an initialization process. When a control unit that has completed the initialization process has acquired relay target data to be relayed via a communication unit corresponding to another control unit that has not completed the initialization process, the control unit stores part of the acquired relay target data in the storage unit by writing in a shared area that is shared with the other control unit that has not completed the initialization process.
