  • Patent number: 11451481
    Abstract: A data collection unit of an NW controller (6) collects, from an L2SW (5) constituting an L2NW (4), uplink observation data indicating traffic volume of a session request packet addressed to an application server 2 and downlink observation data indicating traffic volume of a session response packet transmitted from the application server 2, which are acquired by observing packets input to the L2SW (5). A control unit changes shaping rate of the packets addressed to the application server (2) through the L2SW (5) included in the L2NW (4) based on a ratio between the traffic volume indicated by the uplink observation data and the traffic volume indicated by the downlink observation data, or a ratio between an increment of the traffic volume acquired from the uplink observation data and an increment of the traffic volume acquired from the downlink observation data.
