Tree-shaped broadcasting system, packet transmitting method, node device, and computer-readable medium

摘要

A lost packet in a plurality of packets broadcasted from a broadcasting apparatus is detected. Packet complement request information indicative of a packet complement request for complementing the lost packet is transmitted to a device in a high hierarchical level, and a dummy packet for holding transmission of the packet complement request information for a predetermined hold time is transmitted in place of the lost packet to a node device connected in a low hierarchical level.
