Claim 0:
1. A streaming server which is used to reduce a processing delay of a proxy server in a network environment via the proxy server and compliant with the Common Media Application Format (CMAF) for outputting chunk data obtained by dividing a segment, which is a transmission unit of picture data, into chunks, which are transmission units smaller than the segment, as streaming data, the streaming server comprising:
a chunk length determination unit that calculates a chunk length which is a time length of the chunk; and
a data generation unit that generates the chunk data by dividing segment data, which is data of the segment, into the chunks in accordance with the chunk length,
wherein the chunk length determination unit determines the chunk length based on a data size of picture data to be included in the chunk, and
when the chunk length determination unit recognizes that a received picture is an I picture, the chunk length determination unit sets the chunk length to be shorter than a chunk length set as a fixed length.
