Abstract
A stream communication system has a plurality of nodes and a network to which each node is connected, the node comprises a stream transfer device to which the encoding stream that data attribute information for every data blocks are added, and has a periodicity in the data structure is transferred, at least one node is allocated as a managing node, and the managing node manages at least one monitoring target node and a control target node, the stream transfer device of the control target node comprises stream conversion section for adjusting an amount of the transfer data as the effective transmission rate coincides to the specified transmission rate based on the data priority decided from data attribute information, the stream transfer device of the monitoring target node comprises internal information notification section for notifying the managing node the state of a load of the node, and the stream transfer device of the managing node comprises feedback control section for recalculating the transmission rate for real time transmission, and for notifying the control target node the result as a parameter setting message based on the load state notified from the monitoring target node and the set transmission rate.
