A transmitting terminal for used in a communication system having the transmitting terminal and receiving terminals which are connected to each other in a tree shape, each of the receiving terminals copies the data transmitted from the transmitting terminal and transfers the copied data to a receiving terminal in downstream, includes a receiving section that receives a receiver report including a packet loss rate and a round trip time, a bandwidth estimation target terminal selection section that selects a receiving terminal to be estimated on the basis of distribution tree information and a packet loss rate included in the receiver report, and a bandwidth estimation section that estimates a bandwidth of the network to control a transmission rate of data on the basis of the packet loss rate and the round trip time included in the receiver report transmitted from the selected receiving terminal. |
