Communication apparatus, communication program, storage medium, and method of communication

A communication method for conducting packet communication between a first communication apparatus and other communication apparatuses, the first communication apparatus and the other communication apparatuses being connected to communicate via a plurality of IP (internet protocol) networks, comprising the steps of:

• inputting addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• requesting the input addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• setting bandwidth speed according to bandwidth speeds registered in correspondence with IP addresses as the addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• transmitting a packet;
• reading the bandwidth speeds registered corresponding to the addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• selecting a packet length for the packet transmission;
• determining a packet transmission interval between one packet transmission and next packet transmission;
• and
• confirming a completion of the packet transmission.

A computer-readable medium configured to store a communication program comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer of a first communication apparatus, instructs the first communication apparatus to carry out a method of packet communication with other communication apparatuses via a plurality of IP (internet protocol) networks connecting the first communication apparatus to the other communication apparatuses, the computer-readable instructions comprising the steps of:

• inputting addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• requesting the input addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• setting bandwidth speed according to bandwidth speeds registered in correspondence with IP addresses as the addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• transmitting a packet;
• reading the bandwidth speeds registered corresponding to the addressee information of the other communication apparatuses;
• selecting a packet length for the packet transmission;
• determining a packet transmission interval between one packet transmission and next
• packet transmission;
• and
• confirming a completion of the packet transmission, wherein the computer-readable medium is provide in the communication apparatus.

A communication system using a plurality of IP (internet protocol) networks for packet communication, comprising:

• a plurality of communication apparatuses communicating with each other through at least one of the plurality of IP networks, each of the communication apparatuses comprises
• a memory configured to store addressee information of the other communication apparatuses, the memory including a data table configured to register the addressee information and corresponding bandwidth speeds of the other communication apparatuses such that the addressee information and the bandwidth speeds of the other communication apparatuses are correlated with each other;
• and
• a controller configured to conduct the packet communication with the plurality of communication apparatuses and to control bandwidth speeds used by the packet communication with other communication apparatuses according to the addressee information of the plurality of communication apparatuses and corresponding bandwidth speed stored in the memory, wherein the bandwidth speeds are used to determine packet lengths and packet transmission intervals;
• and
• at least one network facility configured to be used for the packet transmission.
