To transmit multimedia data in such a manner that is adaptive to the transmission capability of a receiving apparatus and/or to the congestion state of a network. In a transmitting apparatus (100), a receiver capability estimating part (102) estimates, based on feedback information from a receiving apparatus (200), a useable band. A receiver classifying part (103) classifies, based on the useable band, the receiving apparatus. A receiver list rearranging part (105) rearranges, in order of transmission capability, a receiver list where classified receiving apparatuses are listed in classes. A packet generating part (106) generates a packet having the receiver list and transmits it at an appropriate transmission rate. |
