Abstract:
1. An Internet network apparatus comprising: an encoder for encoding source data, wherein the source data is image data and generating communication unit input data; a communication unit for sequentially transmitting communication unit input data to a client via communication layers that include an application layer, a transport layer, an Internet protocol (IP) layer and a network connection layer; a transmission rate determination unit for comparing the communication unit input data with communication unit output data or a client input data, the communication unit output data being transferred and compared via at least the transport layer or lower communication laver and being output from the communication unit, and the client input data being transferred to at least one client; and a transmission rate controlling unit for controlling the encoder in response to a comparison result of the transmission rate determination unit. wherein the transmission rate determination unit comprises: wherein the transmission rate controlling unit is configured for controlling the encoder to adjust any one selected from the group consisting of a frame rate, a bitrate, and a resolution of the image data in response to the comparison result of the transmission rate determination unit.
