COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a multiform enabled transport protocol for performing control similar to an ordinary TCP without using any header other than an ordinary TCP header.

SOLUTION: A communication terminal 10 includes: a path information manager unit 12 for managing TCP control information related to each of a plurality of paths; a transmission segment manager unit 11 for storing segments generated by dividing data to be transmitted; and a segment transmitter unit 13 for extracting a segment from the transmission segment manager unit 11 and transmitting the extracted segment to a receiving terminal 30. The transmission segment manager unit 11 makes a reservation for the transmission of the segment based on the TCP control information by storing the segment in association with a path used for the transmission of the segment, and the segment transmitter unit 13 extracts only a segment from the transmission segment manager unit 11 and transmits the extracted segment to the receiving terminal along a path associated with the segment.
