Abstract
A congestion control system is provided between a terminal and a server device to avoid a congestion state in the server device by preferentially regulating the request with a high load on the server device. The congestion control system estimates the load of the request from the terminal to be placed on the server device for the next communication sequence, based on the response from the server device to the request from the terminal, and adds the estimated load information to the response to the terminal. Subsequently, the request from the terminal includes the load information, so that the congestion control system controls the regulation of the request from the terminal based on the load information included in the request.
