Abstract

In a communication system for transmitting and receiving data between a plurality of terminals via a network through a session relay for relaying communication between the terminals, each of the terminals or the session relay measures a one-way or a round-trip delay time in the network, determines a threshold delay time at which network congestion is judged. With reference to a delay time upon detection of packet loss and the threshold delay time, estimation is made about the possibility that the packet loss results from congestion. A congestion window is changed with reference to the possibility upon detection of the packet loss.
