Abstract: A central ECU serving as a communication control device is provided with a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor receives a change notification relating to a change of an intra-vehicle network communication setting from a center server; and determines whether or not new setting information of the intra-vehicle network that is required in association with the change notification is memorized at at least one of the central ECU and an Ethernet switch. When it is determined that the setting information is memorized at neither the central ECU, or the Ethernet switch, the processor requests the setting information from the center server.

Abstract: The vehicle control system includes an abnormality diagnosis unit for determining whether a synchronization abnormality between a master ECU and a slave ECU has occurred. The abnormality diagnosis unit transmits and receives a signal between the master ECU and the slave ECU and acquires time information. The slave ECU calculates a delay time of transmission based on the acquired time information. Then, the abnormality diagnosis unit first determines whether or not there is a periodic shift. When determining that there is no periodic deviation, the abnormality diagnosis unit determines whether or not there is an offset deviation based on the difference obtained by subtracting the delay time from the second time and the first time. The abnormality diagnosis unit determines that a synchronization abnormality has occurred when it is determined that there is a periodic deviation or when it is determined that there is the offset deviation.

Abstract: A method of controlling an SDN system, an SDN sub-controller, and an SDN system is provided. The SDN controller sends a keepalive notification to the SDN switch and the SDN sub-controller. The SDN switch sends a switching request to the SDN sub-controller on condition that the keepalive notification cannot be received during a predetermined specific period. The SDN sub-controller starts to control a communication setting of the SDN switch on condition that the keepalive notification cannot be received during the specific period and that the switching request has been received.
