INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program for enabling an information processing apparatus to receive a packet transmitted from a server and making it possible to prevent an increase in the traffic of a communication line of the Internet, etc., are disclosed. The information processing apparatus includes a repetitive packet transmission section for transmitting a repetitive packet, a function determination section for determining whether or not the nearest communication processing apparatus has a port mapping setting function, a port mapping setting section for setting port mapping for the nearest communication processing apparatus if it is determined that the nearest communication processing apparatus has a port mapping setting function, and a transmission control section for controlling the repetitive packet transmission section so as to transmit the repetitive packet if it is not determined that the nearest communication processing apparatus has a port mapping setting function.
