<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent transmission rate control from greatly pressurizing the communication of actual packets and applying large loads to a communication network. <P>SOLUTION: When transmitting the actual packets through a packet communication network, a transmission side router 18 notifies a reception side router 22 of the information of a transmission rate and transmits the actual packets to the reception side router 22 at the notified transmission rate. The reception side router 22 compares the notified transmission rate with the reception rate of the actual packets, and notifies the transmission side router 18 of the reception rate when a difference between both rates becomes larger than a prescribed value. The transmission side router 18 receives the notice, lowers the setting value of the transmission rate, notifies the reception side router 22 of the information of the new transmission rate, and transmits the actual packets to the reception side router 22 at the notified new transmission rate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
