ABSTRACT:
A flow control system include a congestion detecting section and control section. The congestion detecting section detects congestion in a packet switching network. The control section is arranged in a transmitting node. When the congestion detecting section detects congestion, the control section calculates a new transmission packet rate. When the new transmission packet rate is smaller than a current transmission packet rate, the control section changes the current transmission packet rate to the new transmission packet rate after transmission of data to be transmitted to a receiving node. A flow control method is also disclosed.
