Abstract
Provided is a data communication method of establishing a plurality of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections between a first information processing device and a second information processing device and communicating each piece of data, which is divided for each prescribed unit, through the plurality of established TCP connections. In the method, the first information processing device dynamically changes the number of TCP connections with the second information processing device by notifying connection-upper-limit information, which represents the upper limit of the number of TCP connections to be established with the second information processing device, to the second information processing device, and by changing the connection-upper-limit information to be notified.
