TRANSPORT LAYER RELAY METHOD, TRANSPORT LAYER RELAY DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

Relay sections (1002-1 to 1002-n) terminate transport layer connections from a terminal at the transport layers and relay them to separate transport layer connections (relay connections), respectively. A transmission rate control section (1003) decides the total transmission rate of the relay connections according to the number of connections being relayed and the network congestion condition so as to obtain a desired effective rate and assigns the total transmission rate as the transmission rate of the respective relay sections (1002-1 to 1002-n) according to the result of analysis of application information carried by the transport layer connections during relay.
