Network apparatus with recording bit rate monitoring

摘要

According to one embodiment, there is disclosed a network apparatus (1-1) making an information exchange with other apparatus (1-20) on a network. A communication unit (1-2) makes a communication with the other apparatus (1-20) via the network. A data storage (1-9) stores data. A recording bit rate measuring unit (1-8) measures as a recording bit rate a decreasing amount per unit time of a residual capacity of the data storage (1-9). A recording bit rate monitor (1-7) monitors the recording bit rate as a state variable, determines whether or not the state variable changes based on a predetermined reference, and outputs an event issue request if it is determined that the state variable changes. An event processor (1-6) sends an event notification showing a state change from the communication unit (1-2) to the other apparatus (1-20) based on the event issue request from the recording bit rate monitor (1-7).
