Terminal Device, Terminal-Device Control Method, and Terminal-Device Control Program

A terminal device control method, wherein:

• a communication control unit controls a packet transfer unit for transmitting a packet;
• an instruction information imparting unit imparts instruction information representing an instruction for the communication control unit to the communication control unit;
• the communication control unit acquires statistical information including communication traffic for each flow from the packet transfer unit and retains the statistical information along with information on application software which is a flow transmission source and information on an access network used for communication;
• and
• the instruction information imparting unit acquires statistical information of each access network from the communication control unit for each piece of application software.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium in which a terminal device control program is recorded, the program is installed in a computer used as a terminal device, the computer including:

• a communication control unit for controlling a packet transfer unit for transmitting a packet;
• and an instruction information imparting unit for imparting instruction information representing an instruction for the communication control means unit to the communication control unit, the program being used for causing the computer to perform:
• first statistical information acquisition processing in which the communication control unit acquires statistical information including communication traffic for each flow from the packet transfer unit and retains the statistical information along with information on application software which is a flow transmission source and information on an access network used for communication;
• and
• second statistical information acquisition processing in which the instruction information imparting unit acquires statistical information of each access network from the communication control unit for each piece of application software.
