<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control congestion caused by the concentration of each session establishment request in an IP telephone network. <P>SOLUTION: A congestion control unit 106-1 measures the traffic of an IP telephone network or the processing load of a session setting processor 104-1, and the congestion control is exercised when the traffic or the processing load is over a threshold level. As an example, if a session establishment request between a calling IP telephone terminal 102 and a gateway 107 is generated, the congestion control unit 106-1 investigates whether or not a pair of an address of the calling IP telephone terminal 102 and an address of the gateway 107 are accumulated in a session incomplete information accumulating means. When the pair are accumulated, a session establishment incomplete number is compared with a previously set number, and the session establishment is refused if the session establishment incomplete number is larger than the previously set number. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
