Claim Text:
1. A communication method executed by an information processing apparatus capable of transmitting data to another information processing apparatus, the method comprising: setting a first threshold as an amount of data capable of being transmitted without waiting for a reply from the another information processing apparatus; transmitting first encoded data having a data amount less than or equal to the first threshold to the another information processing apparatus; acquiring, from the another information processing apparatus, a retransmission request including a processing time taken to execute a one-time loss correction decoding process by the another information processing apparatus and an amount of data in the first encoded data that is recovered by the one-time loss correction decoding process, the retransmission request being acquired when all of the data included in the first encoded data is not recovered by the one-time loss correction decoding process; changing the first threshold concerning the data amount into a second threshold based on the processing time and the amount of data in the retransmission request; generating second encoded data having another data amount less than or equal to the second threshold; and transmitting the second encoded data to the another information processing apparatus for another loss correction decoding process, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold.
