<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for improving robustness of an application depending on unreliable protocols such as UDP (user datagram protocol). <P>SOLUTION: In applications in which small numbers of time-critical packets are transmitted, a method is obtained for improving the robustness of using the unreliable protocols such as UDP. This method has a step of synchronizing the local clocks of a plurality of devices communicably coupled to a communication network, a step of transmitting at least one data packet including a time stamp using the local clock of one device from among the plurality of devices using the unreliable protocol via the communication network, and a step of re-transmitting the at least one data packet including the time stamp using the unreliable protocol via the communication network after defined delay. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
