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.

Abstract: An electronic control unit that monitors a subject electronic control unit that is different from the electronic control unit and is connected to a network includes a transmitting unit that transmits a monitoring packet to the subject electronic control unit, an estimating unit that estimates a state of the subject electronic control unit, based on a reply packet transmitted from the subject electronic control unit in response to the monitoring packet, and a monitoring unit that monitors the subject electronic control unit, based on a monitoring policy selected according to a combination of the state of the subject electronic control unit estimated by the estimating unit, and the state of the electronic control unit.

Abstract: This on-vehicle communication device includes: a storage unit configured to store correspondence information indicating a correspondence relationship between an address and a port number; and a communication unit configured to perform, by using the correspondence information, filtering of a packet having been received. A target port number which is a port number of a target instrument is registered in advance in the correspondence information. In the filtering, the communication unit selectively allows a packet that includes the target port number, to pass. The communication unit performs an address registration process of acquiring an address from the packet that includes the target port number and registering, into the correspondence information, the acquired address in association with the target port number. In the filtering after the address registration process, the communication unit selectively allows a packet that includes the target port number and the corresponding address, to pass.

Abstract: The method manufactures a vehicular seat member including a frame member and a foamed resin molded body to embed the frame member. Firstly the frame member is placed in a molding die so that the frame member extends along the outer shape of the vehicular seat member in plan view of the vehicular seat member. Next the foamed resin molded body is formed in the molding die so that the foamed resin molded body has a rim part embedding the frame member and having an outer shape of the vehicular seat member and an extension extending inward from the rim part so as to bridge the rim part inside of the rim part. During the forming, the method forms a break in the extension so as to divide the extension along the direction intersecting the extending direction of the extension.
