Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, which communicates with an external apparatus through a network, and which has a communication packet storage unit configured to store a communication packet that has been transmitted or received in communication between the information processing apparatus and the external apparatus, comprising: a communication unit configured to establish a connection for communication between the information processing apparatus and the external apparatus; a threshold value management unit configured to manage a threshold value which is different for each combination of a communication protocol and a communication mode used in communication between the information processing apparatus and the external apparatus; a comparing unit configured to compare a communication speed during the communication, with the threshold value which is managed by said threshold value management unit in association with the communication protocol and the communication mode actually used in the communication; and a control unit configured to, in a case where it is determined as a result of the comparison by said comparing unit that the communication speed is lower than the compared threshold value, have the communication packet storage unit maintain the communication packet that has been transmitted or received in the communication from the time the connection is established for the communication until the time the connection is disconnected.
