Abstract
In a congestion control method adapted to a communications system having a network, a terminal and a terminal adapter which is provided between the network and the terminal and interchanges a first frame format handled by the network and a second frame format handled by the terminal, the terminal adapter receives a signal sent in the first frame format via the network and detects whether or not the signal includes congestion notification information indicating occurrence of a congestion in the communications system. The terminal adapter then sends a signal in the second frame format including first notification information to the terminal. The terminal adapter then performs a predetermined control process for recovery from the congestion when the terminal receives the signal in the second frame format.
