Abstract: A conversion device analyzes information of an input packet using hardware and determines whether to perform predetermined previous stage processing using the hardware. Furthermore, when it is determined to perform the previous stage processing, the conversion device uses the hardware to provide metadata including identification information indicating a group of packets to the packets on the basis of the fixed-length header information of the packets. In addition, the conversion device uses software to generate analysis packets corresponding to the group of packets using the provided metadata.

Abstract: A design apparatus optimizes, with a first granularity (for example, a real number solution), a traffic volume allocated to each of links between adjacent nodes included in a network. In addition, the design apparatus calculates an approximation solution obtained by approximating, with a second granularity (for example, an integer solution), the traffic volume having been optimized with the first granularity. Furthermore, the design apparatus maps logical paths to each of routes constituted by the links in accordance with the approximated traffic volume.

Abstract: A continuity checking apparatus generates a continuity checking packet to which a predetermined flag and user attributes are assigned and transmits the generated continuity checking packet to an edge router connected to a service that is an entrance of a service chain. Each service transmits an arrival message with respect to the continuity checking packet to the continuity checking apparatus upon reception of the continuity checking packet to which the predetermined flag is assigned. In addition, each service transfers the continuity checking packet to a next service device of the service chain on the basis of the user attributes assigned to the received continuity checking packet. The continuity checking apparatus identifies a path representing service devices through which the continuity checking packet passes on the basis of the arrival message transmitted from each service, and determines whether the identified path is the same as a path of the service chain that is a continuity checking target.

Abstract: A handling apparatus (14a) handles a server attack taking place on a network (1Na) or handles a server attack as requested by a security system provided on another network. In accordance with a determination that it is not possible to handle the server attack by the handling apparatus (14a), the control determination apparatus (12a) makes a request to another security system (1Sb) capable of handling the server attack to handle the server attack. A centralized control apparatus (11) determines whether the server attack taking place on the network (1Na) can be handled on another network.

The storage unit stores an assignment rule designating a processing method for each predetermined flow of the network traffic, and an assignment unit (11b) uses the assignment rule to assign each of the packets received from the network to a copy unit (11c) or to another security apparatus (20b), for each of the predetermined flows.
