Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A determination apparatus includes a processor and a storage unit. The processor acquires through a communication network a request packet transmitted from a client device to a server device group or a reply packet transmitted from the server device group to the client device. The server device group includes a first server device and one or more second server devices. The first server device is connected to the client device through the communication network. The storage unit stores configuration information for determining a source of the acquired reply packet. The processor determines whether the source of the acquired reply packet is the first server device or one of the second server devices on the basis of the configuration information stored in the storage unit.
