Abstract: An edge control device (10) includes: an acquisition unit (15a) configured to acquire information about switching of an edge router accommodating a user's terminal; an instruction unit (15d) configured to instruct a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to induce re-acquisition of an internet protocol (IP) address by the user's terminal on the basis of the information about edge router switching acquired by the acquisition unit (15a); and a receiving unit (15e) configured to receive, from a DHCP server, a notification that induction of IP address reacquisition is completed.

Abstract: A common control unit (141A) acquires a configuration input request to a communication device accommodating a user using a network. An individual control unit (142A) identifies a variable group necessary for a command to execute the configuration input based on request content of the configuration input received by the common control unit (141A) and a type of communication device and transmits the identified variable group to the common control unit (141A). A command execution unit (143A) acquires the variable group identified by the individual control unit (141A) from the common control unit (141A), generates a command based on the acquired variable group, and executes the generated command.

Abstract: A packet transfer apparatus registers time information from a system clock on a CPU region to a time information holding table on a hardware region, adds a receiving time to a received packet using a counter value on a hardware clock and the time information registered in the table, and transfers, to a transfer destination, the packet to which the receiving time has been added.

Abstract: A layer 2 (L2) switch receives session information and destination information included in upstream communication transmitted from a network device, and compresses the received session information and destination information. Then, the L2 switch stores compressed information that has been compressed, into a memory unit that stores a session table to be referred to when downstream communication is received.

Abstract: A management device includes: a reception unit that receives a change request for changing an allocated resource of a user who uses a communication line, from a manager of the communication line, a server managing information related to a use terminal of the communication line, or the user; and a change unit that changes the allocated resource of the user by using a predetermined change method when the reception unit receives the change request.

Abstract: A level 2 (L2) switch receives a packet of upstream communication and a packet of downstream communication that are transmitted from a network device. Further, in a case where it is determined whether or not the received packet is a packet of upstream communication, and when it is determined that the packet is of session upstream communication and is a packet at a session start time, the L2 switch acquires session information and destination information included in the packet of the upstream communication, and stores in a session table. Further, when it is determined that the packet is of upstream communication and is not a packet at a session start time, and destination information of the packet is different from destination information stored in the session table, the L2 switch updates the destination information of the packet to the destination information stored in the session table.

Abstract: An external system linkage unit (11) receives control information of a plurality of communication devices (21 to 29) accommodating a user using a network from an external system. A resource collection unit (12) acquires resource information of each of the communication devices (21 to 29) and detects a change in resource state. A device management unit (14) executes control of the communication device (21 to 29) including recombination of an accommodation position of the user on the basis of the control information received by the external system linkage unit (11) or the change of the resource state detected by the resource collection unit (12).

Abstract: A traffic transfer system includes a switch (10) and a switch (20) and distributes and transfers traffic of communication on a network to a plurality of devices. The switch (10) determines a device of a transfer destination of input traffic among a plurality of devices by a hash function. The switch (10) transfers traffic to a first device when the first device determined to be a transfer destination is available and transfers traffic to the switch (20) when the first device is not available. The switch (20) determines a device to which the traffic transferred by the switch (10) is transferred, from available devices by a hash function. The switch (20) transfers the traffic to a second device determined to be a transfer destination.

Abstract: A packet transfer apparatus registers time information from a system clock on a CPU region to a time information holding table on a hardware region, adds a receiving time to a received packet using a counter value on a hardware clock and the time information registered in the table, and transfers, to a transfer destination, the packet to which the receiving time has been added.

Abstract: An advance transaction processing method in a transaction processing system for conducting transaction by inserting a card as a recording medium into an automatic teller machine by a user and carrying out input operation by the user, involves registering transaction assigning data for assigning transaction operation to be conducted by the user, a transaction restriction condition, and card identifying data on the card carried by the user; allowing an internal storage or a storage of the central processing unit connected to the automatic teller machine to store a transaction-operational procedure by using the transaction assigning data as a key for search; confirming as to whether the transaction restriction condition is satisfied, when the card is inserted into the automatic teller machine; reading the transaction-operational procedure by using the transaction assigning data recorded on the card as the key for search; and allowing the automatic teller machine to execute the processing for the transaction in a
