A communication traffic control system of this invention is directed to reduce
traffic on a LAN. In LAN (1) of a CSMA/CD type having a server computer
(2), a first client computer (3), a second client computer (4)
and other third, fourth . . . client computers connected thereto, when the first
client (3) generates a transmission request A of an object to the server
(2) and receives an object A corresponding to the transmission request A
from the server (2), the second client (4) stores the transmission
request A and the object A corresponding to the former in a storage unit (41)
inside the second client (4). When the second client (4) thereafter
generates a transmission request A for acquiring the same object A stored in the
storage unit (41) to the server (2), it directly acquires the object
A from the storage unit (41) without it passing through LAN (1).
