Abstract

The control node, on the basis of the connection information between the distribution nodes and the load information of the distribution nodes, determines a distribution node of the distribution destination to which one of a plurality of distribution nodes subsequently distributes the data, and the data type which is distributed to the distribution node of the distribution destination. The control node distributes node information which specifies the distribution node of the determined distribution destination and type information which specifies the determined data type. The distribution node receives the node information and the type information distributed from the control node. The distribution node, when it receives the data distributed from the other distribution nodes, selects the data of the type specified by the type information from the received data. The distribution node transmits the data of the selected type to the distribution node specified by the node information.

Dependent claims

A distribution system comprising:

a plurality of distribution nodes that distribute data;
and
a control node that is connected to the plurality of distribution nodes via a network and controls the plurality of distribution nodes,
wherein the control node includes:
a processor to perform processes including:
determining, for each of the plurality of distribution nodes, the distribution node of a subsequent distribution destination to which one of the plurality of distribution nodes distributes data and a data type distributed to the distribution node of the distribution destination on the basis of connection information indicating a connection state between the distribution nodes and load information in the distribution node when receiving a distribution request which requests distribution of at least a piece of data type of which distribution is desired;
and
distributing node information which specifies the determined distribution node of the distribution destination and type information which specifies the determined data type to each of the distribution nodes that is a distribution source distributing the determined distribution destination, and
wherein each of the distribution nodes includes:
a processor to perform processes including:
receiving the node information and the type information distributed from the control node;
selecting data of the type specified by the type information from the received data when receiving the data distributed from other distribution node;
and
transmitting the selected data of the type to the distribution node specified by the node information.

determining, for each of the plurality of distribution nodes, on the basis of connection information indicating a connection state between the distribution nodes and load information in the distribution node, the distribution node of a subsequent distribution destination to which one of the plurality of distribution nodes distributes the data and the data type distributed to the distribution node of the distribution destination by each of the control nodes when receiving a distribution request which requests distribution of at least a piece of data type of which distribution is desired;
distributing node information which specifies the determined distribution node of the distribution destination and type information which specifies the determined data type to each of the distribution nodes that is a distribution source distributing the determined distribution destination by the control node;
receiving the node information and the type information distributed from the control node by each of the distribution nodes;
selecting the data of the type specified by the type information from the received data by the distribution node when the data distributed from the other distribution node is received;
and
transmitting the selected data of the type to the distribution node specified by the node information by the distribution node.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a processor of a control node of a distribution system including a plurality of distribution nodes that distribute data and a control node that is connected to the plurality of distribution nodes via a network and controls the plurality of distribution nodes to execute a digital signature process comprising:

determining, for each of the plurality of distribution nodes, on the basis of connection information indicating a connection state between the distribution nodes and load information in a distribution node, a distribution node of a subsequent distribution destination to which one of the plurality of distribution nodes distributes the data and a data type distributed to the distribution node of the distribution destination when receiving a distribution request which requests distribution of at least a piece of data type of which distribution is desired, and
distributing the node information which specifies the determined distribution node of the distribution destination and the type information which specifies the determined data type to each of the distribution nodes that is a distribution source distributing the determined distribution destination.
