Abstract
A relay device, when it relays data blocks transmitted in succession from a transmitter deviceto a receiver device, is caused to identify a state code showing a state of a communication resource used when the data blocks are transferred. Relay devicedivides the identified state code into portions of a predetermined data size and writes the divided portions into a predetermined area of the data blocks. Receiver devicetransmits to transmitter devicean acknowledgement containing the same data as is written in a predetermined area of the received data block. Transmitter device, upon receipt of the acknowledgement, reads the state code that is divided and written in the acknowledgement and increases or reduces the number of data blocks on the basis of the state code.
