Abstract
In a Web information preferential transfer system, two priorities, personal priority and site priority can be set on the site of a user. On the site of a user, the site priority which can be set by a LAN-side proxy server is the priority of when a request is made. A WAN-side proxy server installed on the provider side extracts the site priority of the request, converts it to the final priority according to the communication state and settings, converts the final priority to a preferential control parameter of an IP packet of a Web object in response to the Web request, and relays it to the LAN-side proxy server. Preferential control may be made based on the final priority in the WAN-side proxy server. Charging by the provider is performed based on the communication contents used and the requested priority.
