Abstract:
An information terminal 10 successively receives a plurality of packets that configure distribution data from an information distribution server 20, and requests the information distribution server 20 to change a bit rate of the packets that configure the distribution data, if it is judged that congestion occurs in communication with the information distribution server 20 based on a change in time interval from transmission to reception of each of the successively received packets, and if it is judged that a packet loss rate, which is a rate of a loss packet corresponding to a loss included in the packets transmitted from the information distribution server 20 and calculated based on the successively received packets, is increased as compared with a value obtained by multiplying a packet loss rate before the packets that configure the distribution data are received, by a predetermined weight.
Abstract:
An information terminal 10B receives plural UDP packets each having a predetermined data size and sequentially transmitted at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined order; extracts pairs of the UDP packets, in which each of a transmission order and a reception order is continuous and the transmission order and the reception order match with each other, from among the received UDP packets; calculates an evaluation value for evaluation of a delay state of a communication path between an information terminal 10A and the information terminal 10B based on comparison between a reception time interval of the packets in each of the extracted pairs of the UDP packets and the predetermined time interval; and judges whether a bit rate of the UDP packets is available or unavailable based on comparison between the calculated evaluation value and a threshold.
Abstract:
There is provided a communication status measurement device wirelessly connected to a public network and communicating with a server connected to the public network through a communication channel determined in advance. A measurement unit repeatedly measures a time since a dummy packet is transmitted to the server until an acknowledgement packet corresponding to the dummy packet is received. A pattern calculation unit calculates a pattern obtained by removing a component at frequencies more than a first frequency from a pattern of variations in a measured value. An RTT acquisition unit that acquires a round trip time, which is used to calculate an actual bandwidth of the communication channel, on a basis of the calculated pattern. An implementation unit implements a virtual private network in the communication status measurement device itself. The dummy packet is transmitted and the acknowledgement packet is received via the virtual private network and the public network.
Abstract:
A communication management system includes: a communication unit that respectively communicates with an information terminal belonging to one of a plurality of groups, via a communication channel assigned to the group to which the information terminal belongs, from among a plurality of communication channels; a control unit that controls a communication via the communication channel on the basis of a configuration value of bandwidth on the communication channel; and a bandwidth configuration unit that, for each communication channel, configures the configuration value of bandwidth on the communication channel, on the basis of data indicating time transitions of communication traffic volume of the group to which the communication channel is assigned.
