Abstract
A communication apparatus stores topology information that is shared by communication apparatuses included in a network and representing connection states between the communication apparatuses. The topology information includes port identification information for identifying ports that are connectable to each other within each communication apparatus. The communication apparatus determines a route by sequentially selecting a port that can be connected to a port, to which transmission data is input based on the port identification information.
Claims6
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores topology information shared by nodes included in a network and representing connection states between the nodes, the topology information including port identification information used for identifying ports that are connectable to each other within each node;
- and
- a processor that determines a route by sequentially selecting a port that can be connected to a port, to which transmission data is input, within each node, based on the port identification information stored in the memory.
A method of determining a route that is executed by a computer, the method comprising:
- acquiring topology information shared by nodes included in a network and representing connection states between the nodes, the topology information including port identification information for identifying ports that are connectable each other within each node;
- and
- determining a route by sequentially selecting the port that can be connected to a port, to which transmission data is input, within each node, based on the port identification information.
