Abstract
The present invention provides a data transmission system having a data sending unit, a data receiving unit and a data transmission medium for data transmission from the data sending unit to the data receiving unit, which comprises an element for generating feature information of data transmission from the data sending unit to the data receiving unit in advance of execution of the data transmission, an element for storing change of states of use of a bandwidth by data transmission now under execution, an element for predicting a time of completion of the data transmission now under execution based on the change of states of use of the bandwidth and the feature information of the data transmission now under execution, an element for determining a transmission rate for data transmission to be next executed at the time of completion of the data transmission now under execution based on the change of states of use of the bandwidth and the feature information of the data transmission to be next executed, and an element for executing the data transmission to be next executed from the data sending unit according to the transmission rate at the time of completion of the data transmission now under execution.
