Abstract: A topology design device for an optical transmission network includes a memory; and a processor to determine a bypass target area as an area to which a bypass route is to be added in the network, the area indicating a region surrounded by nodes and edges, based on an area demand, namely a total value of a demand for communication to be performed via an edge, by referencing a topology management database storing information regarding nodes, edges, and areas in the network, and a demand management database storing demands in the network; and exclude a node from nodes constituting the bypass target area and determining a bypass route from the nodes from which the node has been excluded, based on a node demand, namely a total value of a demand for which each node serves as a start or end point of the demand, by referencing the databases.

Abstract: A communication management apparatus suppresses occurrence of a communication anomaly in a cluster by including: an acquisition unit acquiring quantities of traffic of communications performed by one or more communication units operating in each of a plurality of computers constituting a cluster; a prediction unit predicting future quantities of traffic of the communications; an identification unit calculating, for each of the computers, a total of the future quantities of traffic of the communication units operating in the computer and identifying a first computer for which the total exceeds a threshold; and a move control unit controlling, for a communication unit operating in the first computer, move to a second computer.

Abstract: A path information managing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store, in association with a virtual IP address, a locator of each of a plurality of aggregation routers and a locator of each of a plurality of virtual accommodation routers that are accommodated in each aggregation router and accommodate cluster, an acquisition unit configured to acquire the locator of the aggregation router associated with the virtual IP address and the locator of each virtual accommodation router, in response to an inquiry for a virtual IP address to a destination of a packet, the inquiry being transmitted from an accommodation router that receives the packet from a terminal, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the accommodation router, the acquired locator of the aggregation router, the acquired locator of each virtual accommodation router, and a weight of each virtual accommodation router, or the locator of any virtual accommodation router.
