Abstract:
A communication system includes a communication apparatus configured to process a packet, and a controller configured to set the communication apparatus for processing a packet. The controller includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute program instructions to determine a forwarding path for a packet addressed to a virtual machine based on an access rule indicating connectivity between virtual machines in accordance with an arrangement of the virtual machine, and set the communication apparatus for processing the packet.
Abstract:
This invention provides an information processing system for controlling, in the management of network resources, with a desired accuracy and at a lower cost, whether to perform operations for the network resources. The information processing system comprises a means that performs a determination as to whether to execute an Application Programming (API) called up by an operating subject and used for controlling the network resources, said determination being performed on the basis of a correspondence among the operating subject, a tenant that is a set consisting of the network resources for which the operating subject has been permitted to perform operations, and the API for which the execution by the operating subject has been permitted. This means then controls the execution of the API on the basis of a result of the determination.
Abstract:
A network management apparatus that connects to a terminal by way of a communication apparatus, includes: a legitimate information generation unit configured to generate legitimate identification information that is identification information to identify the terminal on a network that the network management apparatus manages, the legitimate identification information being managed as legitimate information by the network management apparatus; a fake information generation unit configured to generate fake identification information that is different from the legitimate identification information and that cannot be used as it is for communication with another terminal; a management unit configured to manage the legitimate identification information and the fake identification information in association with each other; and a registration unit configured to register the fake identification information to the terminal.
Abstract:
A visualization device is communicable with one or a plurality of host servers for hosting a virtual system, and comprises an information acquisition unit for collecting configuration information on the virtual system and the host server, a storage unit for storing the configuration information therein, and a drawing unit for expressing a virtual machine and a virtual network configuring the virtual system with different axes based on the configuration information stored in the storage unit, expressing a connection relationship between a virtual machine and a virtual network by linking the lines extending from the respective axes, and grouping virtual machines in units of server on which the virtual machines operate thereby to generate drawing information for expressing the configuration of the virtual system and the host server.
Abstract:
A control execution apparatus is provided with a communication unit that makes an inquiry concerning a packet processing method with respect to a predetermined control instruction apparatus, and a packet processing unit that processes packets based on an instruction from the control instruction apparatus. The control instruction apparatus is provided with a communication history management unit that manages communication history between nodes via the control execution apparatus, a node state determination unit that determines, making reference to the communication history of the communication history management unit, whether or not a node that is a transmission source or a transmission destination of the packet for which an inquiry concerning a processing method was received, is on a side that provides a service to another node, and a control instruction unit that prohibits, when at least the node is on the side that provides a service to another node, new communication from the node in question to the other node.

Abstract:
A apparatus management system includes: a forwarding node(s) that supplies identification information that uniquely identifies an individual terminal to a terminal management apparatus that manages the identification information; and the terminal management apparatus that discloses the identification information about a terminal to a corresponding user, requests the user to register himself/herself as a user of the terminal from a second terminal different from the terminal, and holds associates the terminal in association with the user.
