Abstract
Before transferring data, a transmitting computer acquires a transfer rate of an I/O bus to which a communication control device in a receiving computer is connected. When transmitting data, the communication control device refers to a connection control table and a receiver control table, and chooses a transmitting queue for data transmission from a plurality of transmitting queues so that an interval is inserted between transmissions of data, and the data can be transmitted to the receiving computer without loss. The transmission intervals of data are determined based on the transfer rate of the I/O bus to which the communication control device in the receiving computer is connected.
