Abstract
A communication device connectable to an IP network includes a congestion monitor unit monitoring whether the communication device is congested, and a congestion information creating unit creating congestion information concerning a congested state of the communication device when the congestion monitor unit detects the congested state thereof, the congestion information being sent to other devices connected to the IP network.
Claims18
A communication device connectable to an IP network, comprising:
- a congestion monitor unit monitoring whether the communication device is congested;
- and
- a congestion information creating unit creating congestion information concerning a congested state of the communication device when the congestion monitor unit detects the congested state thereof, the congestion information being sent to other devices connected to the IP network.
A communication control method comprising the steps of:
- monitoring whether the communication device is congested;
- creating congestion information concerning a congested state of the communication device when the congested state thereof is detected, the congestion information being sent to other devices connected to the IP network;
- and
- defining an accounting system based on a packet discard ratio determined based on a congestion avoiding control.
