Abstract
The non-real time (NRT) bandwidth collector unit in a master apparatus collects the bandwidth of the non-real time (NRT) communications beforehand by decreasing the bandwidth limit value of a non-real time (NRT) queue in the client apparatus with a light traffic of a non-real time (NRT) communications. When the traffic of the non-real time (NRT) communications increases and there is a shortage of the bandwidth in a certain client apparatus, an increase request for the bandwidth is sent from the client apparatus to the master apparatus. The non-real time (NRT) bandwidth distributor unit in the master apparatus redistributes a new bandwidth limit value within the range of the collected bandwidth. The new bandwidth limit value is notified from the master apparatus to the client apparatus by a non-real time (NRT) bandwidth notifier unit and is set therein.
