ABSTRACT:
A communication method includes steps of: transmitting a plurality of packets to a network according to a window specifying a data amount of the packets to be transmitted to the network; receiving ACK related to the packets transmitted to the network, and detecting whether or not packet discard occurs; measuring a RTT by using the received ACK; calculating a discarding interval indicating a time interval of the packet discard; calculating an increase amount for a current window by using the calculated discarding interval; and updating the current window by using the calculated increase amount if the packet discard is not detected.
