Abstract
Data can be transmitted efficiently by sending control information as demanded by the status of a network. To accomplish this, a transmitting terminal transmits data using the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), and control information, which is for ascertaining the status of the network, is transmitted by both the transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal using the Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP). The transmitting terminal transmits the control information as an RTCP packet at predetermined time intervals. If the transmission rate does not attain a target rate, however, the transmitting terminal raises the transmission rate by a predetermined percentage regardless of the predetermined time intervals. If it is judged that transmission loss has occurred based upon the control information sent from the receiving terminal, the transmitting terminal lowers the transmission rate by a predetermined percentage regardless of the predetermined time intervals.
