NETWORK INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in a conventional technology for a reply (feedback) from client terminals to an application server that cannot have performed real time two-way communication because all of feedback information items reach the application server resulting in causing traffic congestion and an overload to the server in a system wherein the application server and a great number of the client terminals exist on a network.

SOLUTION: Feedback servers having information processing functions are placed on paths from a great number of the clients to the application server to collect/process the feedback information items from the clients and transmit the results to the application server thereby realizing reduction in the network traffic and in the load of the application server. A system management server provided on the system performs the management of the feedback paths such as authentication of the clients, path control and quality management depending on the information processing and transfer processing functions.
