Information processing apparatus, computer-readable recording medium having stored therein information processing program, and method for processing information

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an information processing program that instructs a computer to execute a process, the computer comprising a storing device comprising a plurality of storing regions allocated one to each of a plurality of virtual machines, a processing device that is connected to the storing device and that executes the plurality of virtual machines, and a relay device that is connected to the processing device and that executes a relaying process, serving as a virtual switch that connects the plurality of virtual machines to one another, the process comprising:

• at the relay device,
• obtaining, from a first region among the plurality of storing regions, a first fragment data of transmission target data stored in the first storing region, the first fragment data indicating a destination of the transmission target data;
• outputting, in a case where the destination of the first fragment data is a second storing region among the plurality of storing regions, an instruction instructing to transfer the transmission target data from the first storing region to the second storing region, and
• at a transfer processor that transfers data between the plurality of storing regions through the processing device,
• transferring the transmission target data from the first storing region to the second storing region through the processing device in response to the instruction.
