Communication apparatus, transmission control method, and transmission control program

A transmission control method for a communication apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:

• detecting, from a storage unit having a plurality of storage areas corresponding to a plurality of destination candidates of a destination of data to be transmitted, a number of packets and an amount of data stored in each of the storage areas;
• selecting the destination from among the destination candidates on the basis of at least the number of packets and the amount of data detected in the detecting step, wherein the selecting step comprises:
• identifying appropriate destination candidates from among the destination candidates, the identifying comprising:
• determining, for the appropriate destination candidates, that (i) corresponding numbers of stored packets exceed a first threshold and (ii) corresponding amounts of stored data exceed a second threshold;
• and
• selecting the destination from among the appropriate destination candidates;
• and
• reading a predetermined amount of data for the selected destination from the corresponding storage area and generating a transmission signal.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instruction that, when executed by a computer provided in a communication apparatus for performing communication with a plurality of destination candidates, performs a method comprising:

• detecting, from a storage unit having a plurality of storage areas corresponding to a plurality of destination candidates of a destination of data to be transmitted, a number of packets and an amount of data stored in each of the storage areas;
• selecting the destination from among the destination candidates on the basis of at least the number of packets and amount of data detected in the detecting step, wherein the selecting step comprises:
• identifying appropriate destination candidates from among the destination candidates, the identifying comprising:
• determining, for the appropriate destination candidates, that (i) corresponding numbers of stored packets exceed a first threshold and (ii) corresponding amounts of stored data exceed a second threshold;
• and
• selecting the destination from among the appropriate destination candidates;
• and
• reading a predetermined amount of data for the selected destination from the corresponding storage area and generating a transmission signal.
