Abstract

A traffic application IF determination device includes a setting unit 133 that performs processing of, in two different IFs, setting an IF connection relation between the two IFs to be high in a case where a difference between a difference value between a traffic amount received by one IF and a traffic amount transmitted by another IF and a difference value between a traffic amount received by the other IF and a traffic amount transmitted by the one IF is small and setting the IF connection relation between the two IFs to be low in a case where the difference is large for a plurality of IFs included in a plurality of different NW devices, excluding between a plurality of IFs included in the same NW device, and a determination unit 134 that performs processing of, in a predetermined IF, determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with a plurality of other IFs and determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic non-application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with only one other IF for the plurality of IFs.

First claim

1 . A traffic application IF determination device comprising:
a setting unit, including one or more processors, configured to perform processing of, in two IFs that are different, setting an IF connection relation between the two IFs to be high in a case where a difference between a difference value between a traffic amount received by one IF of the two IFs and a traffic amount transmitted by another IF of the two IFs and a difference value between a traffic amount received by the other IF and a traffic amount transmitted by the one IF is small and setting the IF connection relation between the two IFs to be low in a case where the difference is large for a plurality of IFs included in a plurality of different NW devices, excluding between a plurality of IFs included in an identical NW device; and a determination unit, including one or more processors, configured to perform processing of, in a predetermined IF, determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with a plurality of other IFs and determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic non-application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with only one other IF for the plurality of IFs.

2 . The traffic application IF determination device according to claim 1 , further comprising an arithmetic operation unit, including one or more processors, configured to exclude, in a case where time variation of a traffic amount in the IF that is a target for traffic application exceeds a threshold, the IF that is a target for traffic application from a plurality of the IFs that are targets for traffic application.

3 . A traffic application IF determination method that is performed by a traffic application IF determination device, the method comprising:
performing, by the traffic application IF determination device, processing of, in two IFs that are different, setting an IF connection relation between the two IFs to be high in a case where a difference between a difference value between a traffic amount received by one IF of the two IFs and a traffic amount transmitted by another IF of the two IFs and a difference value between a traffic amount received by the other IF and a traffic amount transmitted by the one IF is small and setting the IF connection relation between the two IFs to be low in a case where the difference is large for a plurality of IFs included in a plurality of different NW devices, excluding between a plurality of IFs included in an identical NW device; and performing, by the traffic application IF determination device, processing of, in a predetermined IF, determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with a plurality of other IFs and determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic non-application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with only one other IF for the plurality of IFs.

4 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a traffic application IF determination program causing a computer to operate as a traffic application IF determination device to perform a traffic application IF determination method comprising:
performing, by the traffic application IF determination device, processing of, in two IFs that are different, setting an IF connection relation between the two IFs to be high in a case where a difference between a difference value between a traffic amount received by one IF of the two IFs and a traffic amount transmitted by another IF of the two IFs and a difference value between a traffic amount received by the other IF and a traffic amount transmitted by the one IF is small and setting the IF connection relation between the two IFs to be low in a case where the difference is large for a plurality of IFs included in a plurality of different NW devices, excluding between a plurality of IFs included in an identical NW device; and performing, by the traffic application IF determination device, processing of, in a predetermined IF, determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with a plurality of other IFs and determining the predetermined IF to be an IF that is a target for traffic non-application in a case where the IF connection relation is set to be high with only one other IF for the plurality of IFs.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 4 , wherein the traffic application IF determination method further comprises:
excluding, in a case where time variation of a traffic amount in the IF that is a target for traffic application exceeds a threshold, the IF that is a target for traffic application from a plurality of the IFs that are targets for traffic application.

6 . The traffic application IF determination method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
excluding, in a case where time variation of a traffic amount in the IF that is a target for traffic application exceeds a threshold, the IF that is a target for traffic application from a plurality of the IFs that are targets for traffic application.
