Claim 0:
1. A redundant communication apparatus comprising:
a determining unit that determines an upper limit of a redundancy level when transmission waiting data in a transmission apparatus is made redundant and transmitted, based on a data quantity of the transmission waiting data and a communication speed of a communication line between a reception apparatus that is a transmission destination of the transmission waiting data and the transmission apparatus; and
a transmitting unit that causes the transmission waiting data to be made redundant at a redundancy level that is equal to or less than the upper limit determined by the determining unit and transmits the data to the reception apparatus via the communication line, wherein
the determining unit determines the upper limit of the redundancy level such that a delay in a predicted time of completion of transmission to the reception apparatus when the transmission waiting data is made redundant and transmitted, in relation to a predicted time of completion of transmission to the reception apparatus when the transmission waiting data is transmitted without being made redundant, is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
