<p>A partner appliance (PA) that communicates with a mobile node (MN) is connected via a communication network (NE) with a home agent (HA) and a foreign agent (FA) that relay the communication between the mobile node (MN) and the partner appliance (PA). When the mobile node (MN), moving during the communication, comes to be connected to a foreign link of the foreign agent (FA), a moved address (MAD) is assigned thereto. If the mobile node (MN) receives call setup request information regarding data transmission from the partner appliance (PA) via the home agent (HA) while moving, it determines, based on the received call setup request information, whether real-time transmission is required for the data. If so, the mobile node (MN) notifies the partner appliance (PA) of the moved address (MAD) assigned thereto. When the moved address (MAD) is notified, a communication path is established between the mobile node (MN) and the partner appliance (PA), and the partner appliance (PA) sends the data to the mobile node (MN) via the communication path based on the moved address (MAD) notified. Since the communication path includes the communication network (NE) and the foreign agent (FA) but does not include the home agent (HA), transmission delay is avoided for the data requiring real-time transmission. <IMAGE></p> |
