<p>A relay apparatus (1a) for relaying communication between a plurality of wireless terminals (3a,3b) and a wired network includes a priority data recording part (13) for recording communication identification data and required bandwidth data, a priority control part (15) for relaying, by priority, the communication recorded in the priority data recording part (13), a request receiving part (7) for receiving communication identification data and multimedia type data, a selecting part (9) for selecting a multimedia type to be relayed by priority, an updating part (8) for additionally recording data that represents a bandwidth required for relaying a stream of the selected multimedia type and the communication identification data, and a responding part (14) for transmitting a response. The selecting part (9) selects the multimedia type so that a sum of bandwidths represented by the required bandwidth data does not exceed a predetermined upper limit value. With the above configuration, the relay apparatus (10) can perform bandwidth control of communication to be relayed, considering the multimedia type included in the communication by a wireless terminal (3a,3b).</p> |
