Original Abstract Submitted
A transmission device transmits packets through communication paths with load distribution. The device includes a calculation unit that, based on data amounts of packets held in order of arrival and line speeds of the paths, calculates predicted delays, which are time periods required for arrival of the packets at a reception device when the packets are transmitted through the paths; a selection unit that, when selecting the paths that transmit the packets so that the packets are received by the reception device in the order of arrival, as a packet to be transmitted through a high-latency communication path having the largest predicted delay when packets having the same data amount are transmitted, selects a packet that is later in the order of arrival than a packet selected based on the predicted delay; and a transmission unit that transmits the packets through the respective selected paths.
