A transmission server (601) includes a processor (602), buffer memory (603), an I/O bus (604), and a transmission unit (605). The transmission unit (605) includes a transmitting unit (606) for controlling the generation and transmission of a packet, buffer memory (607) for holding transmission data provided by the processor (602), and an NIC (608) for connection to a network. The processor (602) manages receivers, and transfers data in the buffer memory (603) to be transmitted to the transmission unit (605) connected to the I/O bus (604). The transferred data is stored in the buffer memory (607) of the transmission unit (605). The transmission unit (605) generates a packet for each receiver from the data in the buffer memory (607) according to the receiver information, and transmits the data to a network through the NIC (608). <IMAGE> |
