<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently retransmit packets at a high speed, in a state with large-scale stream distribution being performed over the Internet. <P>SOLUTION: A stream distribution server 100 stores copy of a stream packet Sa generated in a stream protocol processing unit 111 into a retransmission buffer 115 together with its UDP header information Ha, and then, provides a UDP header to the packet Sa in a UDP processing unit 112. A UDP packet Ua is IP-fragmented in an IP processing unit 113, and IP packet Ia is divided into Ia1, Ia2 and Ia3 and is transmitted to a client 200. The client 200 determine that the arrived IP packet Ia1 is a divided IP packet, writes the information about this packet into a list and delivers the list to an IP processing unit 220. Similarly, the client 200 writes the information about the IP packet Ia3 to the list. Then determining that the IP packet Ia2 is missing, the client 200 transmits a request for retransmission to the stream distribution server 100. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
