Control apparatus and processing method for control apparatus

Abstract

A control apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to receive a request to generate a communication path, calculate patterns in each of which a plurality of processing conditions for use in processing to be performed by communication devices arranged on the communication path are assigned to the communication devices usable to generate the communication path, determine a determined pattern for use in setting of a processing condition of the plurality of processing conditions from the calculated patterns, based on estimation information for associating a number of processing conditions with an estimated value of a throughput, the number of processing conditions and the estimated value of the throughput being set for the communication devices, and transmit a control packet to request each of the communication devices used in the determined pattern to set the processing condition along the determined pattern.
