Abstract
Provided is a control device serving as a domain controller, including: a specification unit configured to, when the number of received packets of a first software router controlled by the domain controller exceeds a threshold value, specify a network slice having a maximum number of received packets among a plurality of network slices accommodated by one or more second software routers that are controlled by another domain controller and that transmit packets to the first software router; and a request unit configured to transmit, to the other domain controller, a request for limiting transmission of packets in the network slice specified by the specification unit, thereby efficiently avoiding a situation in which a software router becomes uncontrollable.
Claims7
A control device serving as a domain controller, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- specify, when the number of received packets of a first software router controlled by the domain controller exceeds a threshold value, a network slice having a maximum number of received packets among a plurality of network slices accommodated by one or more second software routers that are controlled by another domain controller and that transmit packets to the first software router;
- and
- transmit, to the other domain controller, a request for limiting transmission of packets in the specified network slice.
A control method executed by a computer serving as a domain controller, the method comprising:
- specifying, when the number of received packets of a first software router controlled by the domain controller exceeds a threshold value, a network slice having a maximum number of received packets among a plurality of network slices accommodated by one or more second software routers that are controlled by another domain controller and that transmit packets to the first software router;
- and
- transmitting a request for limiting transmission of packets in the network slice specified in said specifying to the other domain controller.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer serving as a domain controller to execute a process, the process comprising:
- specifying, when the number of received packets of a first software router controlled by the domain controller exceeds a threshold value, a network slice having a maximum number of received packets among a plurality of network slices accommodated by one or more second software routers that are controlled by another domain controller and that transmit packets to the first software router;
- and
- transmitting a request for limiting transmission of packets in the network slice specified in said specifying to the other domain controller.
