Abstract: A virtual network control apparatus configured to perform assignment of physical resources under management for a virtual network embedding request, including: a physical network resource management agent configured to manage use state of resources on a physical network at each future time; and a virtual network control agent, the virtual network control agent including: demand prediction means configured to perform prediction of future demand for a virtual network; and use resource determination means configured to calculate physical resources to be used at each future time by the virtual network based on a prediction result of the demand obtained by the demand prediction means and information of future use state of resources on the physical network obtained from the physical network resource management agent, and to notify the physical network resource management agent of information of physical resources of the calculation result.
