Abstract
A data transmission device, method, and program therefor that effectively increase throughput even when a delay increase occurs due to a cause other than congestion in the network. The data transmission device () is provided with a transmission unit () which transmits to a user terminal () data requested over a network (). The data transmission device includes a transmission rate control element (C) which controls the transmission rate on the basis of the degree of congestion detected by a congestion detection element (B) during delay measurement by a delay measurement processing unit (), and a reference value correction processing element (D) which temporarily corrects the detection criteria used by the congestion detection element; when it has been determined that the delay has increased due to a cause other than congestion. This reference value correction element increases the accuracy of detection processing by the congestion detection element, thereby improving throughput.
