Abstract
According to the embodiments, a communication apparatus stores therein an operation mode indicating whether the communication apparatus is a publisher or a subscriber, and includes a message processing unit that generates a transmission message and analyzes a reception message and a nonvolatile memory. When the communication apparatus is subscriber, the communication apparatus sends a repair message to request a retransmission of a data chunk not successively received. When the communication apparatus is publisher, the communication apparatus selectively retransmits the data chunk based on the repair message.
