Abstract
When path status information is updated, the time at which the update is effective is recorded. A packet arrival time in each path is predicted based on new status information and data transmission history after the effective time. The packet is transmitted to the path that provides a fastest packet arrival time. This reflects the path status available from the reception side on the data transmitted in past, so that an actual data arrival time, an arrival time close to a reception completion time, or a reception completion time can be predicted.
