Abstract:
A method of sending out data from a server computer to a terminal computer seeking said data, said server computer configured for receiving a data processing demand sent in from any of a plurality of terminal computers on a network by way of a specific terminal port on a switching hub, forming a group of sending data packets on said data processing demand, and then sending out said group of data packets via said specific terminal port to said terminal computer that sent in said data processing demand, said method, performed by the server computer, comprising the steps of:the step of determining, on the basis of the contents of said data processing demand, the number of the terminal port on said switching hub to which the terminal computer, the destination of said sending data packets, is connected,the step of checking consecutive sending data packets formed according to successively received data processing demand to determine if the terminal port numbers thus determined are the same, andthe output regulating step of adjusting the time of sending out groups of sending data packets on said data processing demand in case said checking determines the use of the same terminal port number repeats successively.
