Abstract: A packet size control method allowing reduction in the period of time during which transmission is in a blocked state is disclosed. The size of a packet to be sent is determined depending on a measured round trip time (RTT), a current bandwidth of the data link layer, and a current congestion window size. First, a maximum segment size (MSS) is obtained based on the measured RTT and the current bandwidth of the data link layer using a table obtained by data transfer simulation. Thereafter, the obtained MSS is corrected using the current congestion window size. And the correct MSS is used to determine the final segment of data to be sent.

Abstract: In a voice switch, a received voice signal and a transmitted voice signal are inputted to a receiving side control section, the receiving side control section thereby produces a signal for controlling an amount of attenuation in a receiving side attenuation section. As a result, the receiving side attenuation section attenuates the received voice signal by a predetermined amount to produce a speaker output voice signal for driving a speaker. A speaker output voice signal and a microphone input voice signal are inputted to a transmitting side control section, the transmitting side control section thereby produces a signal for controlling an amount of attenuation in a transmitting side attenuation section. Consequently, the transmitting side attenuation section attenuates the speaker output voice signal by a predetermined amount to produce the transmitted voice signal.
