TRANSMITTER, METHOD, RECORDIGN MEDIUM, PROGRAM, AND CONTROLLER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the transmission of packets by a software controller with a smaller load and at shorter time intervals.

SOLUTION: A deciding unit 232 decides whether the queue length is greater than a specified value. An input controller 231 generates a signal for showing that the packets are not enqueued to feed them to a network layer, if the queue length is decided to be greater than the specified value; but acquires packets from the network layer to feed them to a buffer, if the queue length is decided to be not greater than the specified value. A request signal generator 234 generates an output request signal and feeds it to a signal processor 235. The signal generator 235 generates a signal for showing dequeue packets to feed them to an output controller 236 when an op request signal or interrupt signal is fed. The output controller 236 acquires packets having a past transmission time from the buffer, and feeds them to a device driver. This is applicable to remote television meeting systems.
