To keep constant the transfer rate of continuous medium data between transmitting and receiving nodes even when a single signaling protocol stack is not packaged in each of all routers for repeating data between the transmitting and receiving nodes.
An RTIPSIG protocol stack 310 to be operated on a transmitting node 101 and routers 1 and 3 prepares a connection managing table similar to conventional technology and executes the reservation of resources required for transferring the continuous medium data at the fixed rate between the transmitting node 101 and the router 1 and between the router 3 and a receiving node 105. Besides, a connection monitoring application 313 to be operated on the router 1 executes the reservation of resources required for transferring the continuous medium data at the fixed rate between the routers 1 and 3. Afterwards, the transfer of data is started between respective applications 309 of the transmitting and receiving nodes.
