The present invention relates to a traffic control apparatus and the like for optimizing a communication performance of each of local networks to be monitored. The traffic control apparatus () temporarily stores in the memory () communication band information items of relay nodes (B,B,B) through the I/O (). The controller () specifies a bottleneck relay node based on the obtained communication band information items, calculates transmittable/receivable bands to be allocated to the PCs (B), and notifies the PCs (B) of the calculated transmittable/receivable bands. In response to this notification, the PCs (B) divide data to be transmitted, with the divided data corresponding to the allocated bands, and transmit the divided data to the Internet (), in a manner that the divided data are arranged temporally evenly.
