Abstract
In a data packet transmission method and an apparatus for realizing the method, data packet transmission/reception is performed between communication apparatuses each having a CPU for controlling an entire operation of the apparatus. An operating efficiency of the CPU of the communication apparatus on a reception side is detected when a data packet transmission/reception request is generated. An optimum data packet length for reception of a data packet is determined in correspondence with the detected operating efficiency, and the communication apparatus on a transmission side is informed of the optimum data packet length. The data packet to be transmitted is assembled to have the optimum data packet length, and the data packet is transmitted.
