    摘要: [Problem] To allocate IFs to be used in accordance with buffers such that no packet loss occurs in a case in which the transfer apparatus that performs packet transfer includes as many buffers with grouped interfaces (IFs) mounted in units of groups thereon as the number of groups.
    [Solving Means] A packet transfer apparatus 10C has a plurality of buffers 11a to 11n mounting IFs in units of groups and performs, when the traffic amount at the time of packet transfer of the IFs of each of the buffers exceeds maximum transfer capacity of the IFs, buffering packets corresponding to the exceeding traffic amount in the buffers. An IF allocation unit 23 included in the transfer apparatus 10C selects, in a case in which IF groups with no occurrence of any loss indicating packet discarding are present at the time of the packet transfer in the IFs for a unit time from among all the IF groups, an IF group with a longest non-occurrence time of the buffering from among the IF groups with no occurrence of any loss and performs IF allocation of allocating traffic of packets to the IFs in the selected IF groups.

    摘要: [Problem] A route information transfer device that transfers packets advertising route information between routers of different service types is provided.
    [Solution] The route reflector (route information transfer device) 1 includes: a packet reception unit 11 that receives packets from a PE (router) 2; an information update unit 120 that updates a parameter related to the service type included in the received packet according to the PE 2 and the virtual private network, and stores the updated parameter in the service-type information storage unit 13; an information conversion unit 14 that refers to the service-type information storage unit 13 and converts the parameter related to the service type of the source PE2 of the packet into a parameter related to a service-type of the destination PE 2 in an identical virtual private network; and a packet transmission unit 16 that transmits a packet including the converted parameter to the destination PE 2.

    摘要: A network 50 is hierarchically divided into network devices 501 to 506, areas, and the like to be monitoring targets, and a monitoring device 100 monitors a divided monitoring target. A monitoring device of an N-th layer (here, N≥2) that is an upper layer with respect to a first layer monitors information of reachability between user connection points received from a monitoring device of an (N−1)-th layer that is a lower layer and network devices connecting monitoring targets of the (N−1)-th layer making up monitoring targets of the N-th layer and connection statuses between the network devices and areas that are monitoring targets. The monitoring device determines the presence/absence of reachability between user connection points belonging to different monitoring targets of the (N−1)-th layer on the basis of this reachability and the connection statuses.

    摘要: A delay measurement device measures a delay time of an end-to-end route path of a virtual private network related to a predetermined user. The delay measurement device includes a measurement route generation unit configured to generate a first route that transfers to a start point node of a route path, transfers back on the route path, and then returns to itself, and to generate a second route of a route that transfers to the start point node of the route path and returns to itself; a packet transmission/reception unit configured to transmit and receive packets circulating on the first route; a delay measurement unit configured to measure a time from transmission of the packet to reception of the packet to set the measured time as a delay time of the route; and a one-way delay calculation unit configured to calculate a one-way delay time of the route path.

    摘要: To ensure efficiency of software update operations while maintaining reliability of an entire network during the software update operations. A software update management apparatus 1 includes a storage unit 12 adapted to divide a network into one or more blocks and store block management information 100 indicating whether each of network devices belonging to each of the resulting blocks is an active device or a standby device; an update instruction receiving unit 101 adapted to receive software update instructions; a software update information generating unit 102 adapted to generate software update information 200; a software updating unit 103 adapted to perform software update processes after transferring traffic to standby devices in same blocks as respective active devices when it is determined that the network devices are active devices according to the software update information 200 and thereby perform the software update processes for active devices or standby devices in different blocks in parallel.

    摘要: [Problem] To perform path switching quickly and efficiently when path switching is required in a multicast transfer system.
    [Solution] In a multicast transfer system 10, a multicast group for transmitting the same packet from a sender (transmitting apparatus) 21 to a plurality of receivers (receiving apparatuses) 31, 32 is formed. A transfer apparatus 41 holds transfer destination data DB1 in which a group identifier for identifying a multicast group is associated with copy transfer destination information (multicast segment) for specifying another transfer apparatus to be used as a packet transfer destination when the packet is received. In copy transfer destination information, a plurality of other transfer apparatuses can be registered by adding a priority, and a plurality of group identifiers can be associated with a single piece of copy transfer destination information.
