The lock time of a database upon the execution of a series of processes is decreased, and the load of the implementation/modification of the database server device upon changing the application destination of the Web system is reduced. A database server provides a prescribed simple API, and comprises a request processing unit, an SQL creation unit, and an SQL processing unit. In the database server device, when a plurality of divided requests are received from the Web server device as the request for requesting a series of processing, the SQL processing unit executes SQL integration processing of temporarily storing the generated SQL sentences until generation of the SQL sentences is ended for all of the plurality of divided requests, and integrating and editing the plurality of temporarily stored SQL sentences and creating the whole SQL sentence after generation of the SQL sentence is ended for all of the requests.

Database server device, server system and request processing method

Provided is a communication device including a plurality of physical ports, the communication device holding information for associating each of at least one logical port and at least two physical ports, the communication device being configured to: identify, when any one of the plurality of physical ports receives data including user data, one of the at least one logical port as an output destination of the data based on destination information included in the received data; select, based on the data, one of the at least two physical ports associated with the identified logical port as an destination of the data; generate coupling check data relating to one of the plurality of physical ports; transmit the coupling check data from the one of the plurality of physical ports; and transmit data including the user data from the physical port selected by a first processing unit as the output destination.

Communication device and method of controlling the same

In an example of the invention, network devices are classified into areas. Each of the areas includes edge nodes. A network management apparatus retains fault information including values each indicating whether or not a fault has occurred in each of the areas, retains detour path information including values indicating edge nodes, values indicating alternative areas to the areas and priorities assigned to the alternative areas, identifies, when determined that a fault has occurred in a first area based on the fault information, an alternative area to the first area based on the detour path information, determines, when determined that the fault has not occurred in the identified alternative area, the identified alternative area as a second area through which the active path passes, determines two edge nodes included in the second area, and detect network devices through which the active path passes between the two edge nodes.

Communication system, communication method and network management apparatus

An identifier management apparatus capable of setting identifier conversion information of a new user without affecting identifier conversion processings of other users, and an identifier management method. The identifier management apparatus converts an identifier given to communication data. Its memory stores multiple hash functions, output values of the hash functions corresponding to the respective plurality of hash functions, multiple entry tables that manage the identifier conversion information indicating a correspondence between the input identifier being an input value of the hash function and an output identifier obtained by converting the input identifier, and a management table for managing a setting status of the identifier conversion information in each entry table. When registering the new identifier conversion information in any entry table, its processor selects an entry table that should register new identifier conversion information depending on setting statuses of the identifier conversion information in the entry tables.

Apparatus and method for identifier management

A packet transport system to which the present invention is applied includes an edge node accommodating an access network at an edge, and a core node of carrying out a processing of assorting a frame gathered from a plurality of the edge nodes, the edge node provides a label to the frame flowing in from the access network, and the packet transport system transmits the frame in reference to the label. The edge node includes a priority information providing portion of changing a piece of priority information provided to the frame flowing in from the access network in accordance with a congested state of the core node, and a priority previously set to a path specified by the label.

Packet transfer system, network management apparatus, and edge node

In a cache control assuming plural user terminals accessing identical content, cache delete priority assignment is performed from a position where a user finished playback based on whether the user intends to view the content later. A cache control server is provided, and a cache delete inhibit span is determined based on a playback stop position or a normal speed playback time. A cache server deletes the cache based on the delete inhibit span received from the cache control server. Traffic of the core network due to re-cache can thus be reduced.
