  • Patent number: 9948532
    Abstract: A notification acquiring section receives, from a device, a notification message indicating at least one of an aggregate value of data communication amounts obtained by aggregating, per unit of aggregation time of one second or longer, the data communication amounts of the device which have been measured on a millisecond or microsecond basis; and an aggregate value of data accumulation amounts obtained by aggregating, per unit of the aggregation time, the data accumulation amounts in the device which have been measured on the millisecond or microsecond basis. A determining section analyzes at least one of the aggregate values of the data communication amounts and the data accumulation amounts indicated by the notification message to determine whether or not microburst traffic has occurred at the device.
