PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To put out the same IPv4 address to a plurality of terminals connected, respectively, with different edge devices.;SOLUTION: An edge device 20 is installed between a terminal 50 to which an IPv4 address is given, and a host 10 to which an IPv6 address is given. The conversion function unit 21 of the edge device 20 performs interconversion between the IPv4 and IPv6. A surplus field value for use in conversion from the IPv4 address to the IPv6 address of the terminal 50 is a unique value different for each edge device 20. The surplus field value used for conversion from the IPv4 address to the IPv6 address of the host 10 is the same value in a provider network 100.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
