Request delivery to 4-n. Delivery control units 14-1 to 14-
n are the destinations 19-1 to 19-1 through the switch 15, respectively.
Connect to the corresponding n destinations of 19-m,
Delivery of information. The delivery control units 14-1 to 14-n are
After performing the delivery process, the information delivery unit 13 is notified of the delivery result. The information delivery unit 13 checks whether or not the delivery is normally performed to all the destinations to be delivered, and if the delivery is normally performed to all the destinations, the information delivery unit 13 stores the information. A request for deleting the information to be delivered is issued to the section 12. When the delivery is not normally performed to one or more destinations, the information delivery unit 13 sends the undeliverable destinations to the deliverability calculation unit 16. The delivery possibility calculation unit 16 calculates the retry time, and performs the delivery process again at that time for the destination.

It is monitored whether the line between the switch 15 and each of the destinations 19-1 to 19-m is currently used. The delivery condition information management unit 17 manages the importance of delivery for each destination. A plurality of ranks are set for the degree of importance of delivery, and a destination with a high degree of importance of delivery is managed so that it is delivered first instead of retrying. Correspondingly, the deliverability calculation unit 16 calculates the deliverability by [sum of delivery importance of destinations not using the line] / [number of destinations].

１７の管理している平均使用時間の更新を行う。Explaining the method of calculating the retry time, the deliverability detecting units 18-1 to 18-m indicate that the line between the switch 15 and the destinations 19-1 to 19-m is in the current busy state. Monitor duration and last usage time. The delivery condition information management unit 17 manages the average usage time for each destination. When the destination (corresponding to 19-i) is currently in use, the deliverability calculating unit 16 calculates the average usage time managed by the delivery condition information managing unit 17, and the deliverability detecting unit 18-. The retry interval is set to the maximum value among the destinations to be delivered, and the retry interval is added to the current time to determine the retry time. Further, the average use time managed by the delivery condition information management unit 17 is updated based on the use time immediately before detected by the deliverability detection unit 18-i.
