Service apparatus, method of controlling switching of connection destination of client apparatus by service apparatus, and storage medium readable by machine

摘要

When a service apparatus detects a predetermined state, the service apparatus selects one of a plurality of client apparatuses connected to the service apparatus and selects a client apparatus to which a connection should be cut. The service apparatus determines another service apparatus to be a redirection destination of the client through communication with other service apparatuses which are capable of establishing a connection with the client. The service apparatus gives control information to the other service apparatuses and inhibits transmission of a response, which indicates that connection with the client is possible, corresponding to a probe request from the client apparatus for a given period of time.
