Abstract:
1. A transmission rate setting device for setting a transmission rate for a communication between a communication terminal and a communication destination for the communication terminal, the transmission rate setting device comprising: a restriction detecting unit configured to detect that a restriction is placed on the communication from the communication terminal to the communication destination for the communication terminal; a transmission rate setting unit configured to, in a case where the restriction detecting unit has detected that a restriction is placed on the communication, set a transmission rate for the communication, carried out by the communication terminal, so that the transmission rate becomes lower than before the restriction is placed on the communication; a communication identifying unit configured to identify the communication on which the restriction is placed, wherein the communication between the communication terminal and the communication destination for the communication terminal being carried out via a communication relay device, and the communication relay device having a plurality of ports through which the communication is carried out; and a transmission rate setting unit configured to individually set a transmission rate for each of the plurality of ports included in the transmission relay device, wherein the communication identifying unit is configured to identify the communication on which the restriction is placed and further identify via which one of the plurality of ports the communication is carried out, and in case where the communication carried out by the communication terminal is via the ort identified by the communication identifying unit, the transmission rate setting unit is configured to set a transmission rate for the port, identified by the communication identifying unit, so that the transmission rate of the port becomes lower than before the restriction is placed on the communication.
