Transport layer relay method, transport layer relay device, and program

摘要

Relay units ( 1002 - 1 - 1002 -n) terminate a plurality of transport layer connections from terminals in a transport layer and relay each of these connections to other transport layer connections (relay connections). A transmission rate control unit ( 1003 ) determines the total transmission rate of the relay connections according to the number of connections that are being relayed and network congestion conditions such that a desired effective rate is obtained, and moreover, allots the total transmission rate as transmission rates to each of relay units ( 1002 - 1 - 1002 -n) in accordance with the results of the analysis of information of the applications being carried on the transport layer connections during relay.
