A communication path management apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and to decide, for each of processing-pairs, part of inter-adjacent-server communication paths that couple adjacent servers on communication paths among servers in the network as data-transfer-paths used for data transfer from a first processing to a second processing of a processing-pair, the processing-pair including first and second processings that are consecutive in the order of execution, based on an execution track record of the first processing that is earlier in the order of execution and the second processing that is later in the order of execution in the processing-pair in each of the servers, and instruct servers at both ends of the data-transfer-paths decided regarding each of the processing-pairs to carry out data transfer of an execution result of the first processing by the data-transfer-paths.

Communication path management apparatus and communication path management method

A data transfer method includes: executing a process that stores sensor information including duplicate degrees and position information, the duplicate degrees indicating an amount of computers as transmission sources of inhibit signals received by the first computer; executing a process that transmits the inhibit signal including the duplicate degree in the sensor information to a computer that is present in a position to which direct communication via the short-distance radio communication is possible; executing a process that stores the duplicate degree in the inhibit signal, associates the duplicate degree with the transmission source of the inhibit signal, and increases the duplicate degree in the sensor information; and executing a process that transmits the position information in the sensor information to the management device in a case where the duplicate degree in the sensor information is higher than the duplicate degree associated with the transmission source of the inhibit signal.
