Abstract: In order to preliminarily perform a load test or the like of an IP network, a test apparatus instructs a test packet transmitting device to transmit a test packet having a specified multicast address and instructs a test packet receiving device to receive the test packet of the multicast address. The test apparatus further instructs a first relay device to relay the test packet of the multicast address and instructs a second relay device to perform a route optimization excluding processing. The test packet receiving device requests the second relay device to transfer the test packet of the multicast address when the test packet receiving device has received the instruction to receive the test packet.

An object of the invention is to provide a package starting control device capable of effectively increasing or decreasing the number of wavelengths at low cost without changing a basic structure drastically.

Abstract: A transmitter equipped with a plurality of transmission path ports and a relay section. The relay section has a routing table and a router. In the routing table, information about the relay of the received packet to one of the transmission path ports connected to a relay transmission path is stored, correlated with both a port identifier of each the transmission path port and the source address of the transmitter that transmitted the packet. The router extracts the port identifier of the transmission path port that received the packet and the source address contained in the received packet, and routes the received packet to the transmission path port connected to the relay transmission path by referring to the routing table for the extracted port identifier and the extracted source address.

Abstract: A plurality of traffic monitoring apparatuses and an entry managing apparatus common to the traffic monitoring apparatuses are provided in a network. In the traffic monitoring apparatus, a packet receiving unit extracts a source IP address, destination IP address, and a TTL count to be registered in an entry registering unit as an entry. A destination-address counting unit counts the number of entries having the same source IP address and the same TTL count. A TTL counting unit counts the number of entries having the same source IP address and the same destination IP address, and counts a largest TTL count. An entry reporting unit reports a TTL count or a largest TTL count to the entry managing apparatus. The entry managing apparatus identifies a traffic monitoring apparatus that has reported a TTL count having the largest value or a largest TTL count having the largest value, as an origin of an abnormality.
