If a failure occurs in a content server having a function to deliver a content as a multicast IP packet, the influence on the end user is minimized. An active content server and a standby content server are provided. The active content server delivers a multicast content, and the standby content server joins a corresponding multicast group, receives the multicast packet sent by the active content server, and monitors the delivery status of the active content server. If no multicast packet is delivered from the active content server before the scheduled end of the content delivery determined by the content delivery end information (content length in time, sequence number, or absolute end time) specified in each content, the standby content server starts the multicast content delivery.
