Abstract:
1. A mobile communication system comprising a reception-side node and a transmission-side node, the transmission-side node further comprising a processor and a memory: wherein a communication is configured to be performed between the reception-side node and the transmission-side node by a first protocol layer and a second protocol layer that is a lower layer of the first protocol layer, wherein the transmission-side node includes one or a plurality of transmission-side IP addresses, wherein the reception-side node includes one or a plurality of reception-side IP addresses, wherein a connection of the second protocol layer formed by a plurality of physical paths is configured to be set between the transmission-side node and the reception-side node, wherein the plurality of physical paths are configured to be set by each of the transmission-side IP addresses and each of the reception-side IP addresses, wherein one or a plurality of streams are configured to be set within the connection of the second protocol layer set between the transmission-side node and the reception-side node, wherein the first protocol layer of the transmission-side node is configured to acquire, from the second protocol layer of the transmission-side node, a first data amount indicting an amount of data that can be received at the reception-side node for each connection of the second protocol layer, a second data amount indicating an amount of data that can be transmitted by the transmission-side node for each physical path, and a third data amount indicating an amount of data transmitted within a unit time by the transmission-side node for each stream, and wherein, when an urgency flag is included in data subject to transmission, the first protocol layer of the transmission-side node is configured to determine a stream and a physical path through which the data subject to transmission should be transmitted, based on the first data amount, the second data amount, and the third data amount, and to notify, to the second protocol layer of the transmission-side node, the determination.
