<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism which can distribute load on a data supply side without providing a processor and to eliminate the need for a client side to be aware of the switching of a processor. SOLUTION: When cooperating with each other to distribute data to a client, distribution units receive a connection request and a data distribution request sent out of the client, and one distribution unit sends out responses to the respective requests to the client; and the data distribution unit, having sent out the response to the connection request, determines the distribution unit to send requested data so that the data are sent out to the client from the determined distribution unit.</p> |
