Description of the Related Art For example, when a homepage published on a web server is displayed on a client terminal by using browsing software, or when a client downloads a file posted on such a homepage. The client normally issues a request to the delivery service server on the network, and the delivery service server receiving the request accesses the web server, downloads a necessary file, and transfers it to the client.

行サーバ）を介してデータを転送するようにしている。If this file transfer is performed with a one-to-one relationship between the client and the service server, the transfer path cannot be changed until the file transfer is completed or the client cancels the transfer process. When the number of file transfer accesses is large at a popular site, the load on the server and the line load increase. For this reason, a distribution server that distributes files usually has servers called mirror servers installed at a plurality of locations, and a server that can transfer data to a client earliest is selected from the mirror servers and the server ( Data is transferred via the execution server).

どに特に著しい。However, in such a conventional data transfer method, the transfer path is uniquely determined before the transfer is started. In other words, even if mirror servers are provided at multiple locations, the file transfer route is determined when the mirror server to be used is determined before the transfer is started. It may take time. This problem is particularly remarkable when a client using a normal low-speed line requests transfer of a large file to a high-speed line network such as an inter-company network, cable TV, and ADSL subscriber.

とができる。Further, in the step (5), whether or not the data transfer rate of the transfer execution server is lower than a predetermined reference transfer rate is determined by using the response time from the client measured in the step (4) as the reference transfer time. By comparison, if this is slower than the reference transfer time, the data transfer time is slow, or if the response times from the clients measured in step (4) are both slower than the reference transfer time. If the data transfer time is slower than the reference transfer time, or if the average value of the response times from the clients measured a plurality of times in the step (4) is obtained and the average value is slower than the reference transfer time, the data is transferred. It can be determined that the transfer time is later than the reference transfer time.

Here, the response time from the client 10 is measured for each record constituting the file, and the predetermined time is determined. If the response time is slower than the reference time of (1), the transfer processing is handed over to another mirror server or this server. When the response time is not delayed, the execution server (30-3) continues the file transfer and completes the file transfer.

繰り返して行う。FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an operation when a file transfer is delayed in the execution server 30-3 and the transfer process is taken over by another server. As described above, the mirror server 30-3, which is the execution server, transfers data, requests a response from the client for each record to be transferred (step S20), and measures the response time (steps S21 and S22). . Here, when the response time is longer than the predetermined reference value (step S23, Y
ES), the mirror server 30-3 notifies the server 30 to that effect.
-1 is notified (step S26). Upon receiving this notification, the server 30-1 performs the routing process again (step S27) and selects the optimum server again (step S28, here, the mirror server 30-2 is selected). This routing process is performed by repeating steps S2 to S9 shown in FIG.

い。Since the transfer file can be regarded as a collection of records, each server transfers files in ascending order and counts the number of records transferred by itself, thereby transferring up to what part of the transfer file. You can figure out what you did. Therefore, when transferring to another server during the transfer, the number of records at the time when the transfer is stopped may be notified to the next selected server. The newly selected server starts the transfer from the record position of the notified record number + 1.
As long as all the servers recognize the order, or if the order is notified when the transfer is taken over, the transfer may be performed in the descending order or in another order.

ことができる。The delay of the file transfer speed in the execution server is judged as follows. The execution server records the response time of the record first transferred to the client as Tmin, sequentially transfers the records, measures the response time thereof, compares this with Tmin, and compares the measured response time with Tmin. If it is smaller, Tmin is updated. When the measured response time is larger than Tmin,
The response time is measured several times in succession from that point in time, and if all of these measurement results are greater than Tmin, it is determined that a delay has occurred. The number of times of measurement can be set arbitrarily.

Further, if the response time is smaller than Tmin even once, it may be determined that a delay has occurred. Furthermore, in the above example, the response time is measured every time a record is transmitted, but the response may be calculated every time a predetermined number of records are transmitted or every predetermined time.
