MULTIPLE PATH DIRECTOR, MANAGEMENT TERMINAL, AND MULTIPLE PATH CREATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiple path communication technique that can suppress increase in calculation time for reconfiguring multiple paths with a simple structure even the number of communication bases increases.;SOLUTION: A multiple path director 30, which is provided at a data center 11 that transmits and receives information to/from a plurality of communication bases 10 through a network and creates multiple paths, has: network topology collection function 52 that collects first network topology data between the data center and the plurality of communication bases; cluster constitution function 53 that classifies communication base groups with similar communication paths into same clusters on the basis of the collected first network topology data, selects a representative communication base 10a from each cluster, and makes each representative communication base to collect second network topology data between the representative communication bases; and multiple path calculation function 54 that determines, on the basis of the first and second network topology data, a first communication path between the data center and each communication base and a second communication path that does not share a physical link with the first communication path.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
