To make it possible to correctly understand a connection relationship of interfaces. A traffic addition deviceadds to traffic volumes output from a plurality of interfaces of a plurality of network devices A to F in a to-be-estimated network N additional traffic volumes different at the interfaces. This forms a characteristic volume in the traffic volumes. The topology estimation devicecan thus correctly understand a connection relationship of the interfaces from a correlation between the traffic volumes.

A topology estimation system that estimates the connection relationship of interfaces of a plurality of devices includes: a topology estimation devicethat estimates the connection relationship of the interfaces from the correlation of traffic observed at each of the interfaces connected to each other; and a traffic generation devicethat generates traffic to be transmitted to the interfaces. The traffic generation deviceincludes: a traffic generation unitthat generates traffic so that a different feature amount appears for each set of the interfaces connected to each other; and a traffic transmitting unitthat transmits the traffic to the interfaces.

To prevent a delay in detection of a fault and the like and to cut down a load on a management side while making transmission of data appropriate in consideration of importance and properties of each type of the data in a case in which a large amount of data is transmitted from management target apparatuses. Items with high priority are processed first, and items with a low priority are allowed to be thinned out in accordance with priority and a weight that a management systemdefines for each data item, thereby reducing a load. The thinning out is performed by limiting the number of data items to be processed once in accordance with a load level. Data acquisition intervals and priority for each item are dynamically changed by reflecting the importance of the data of each item and a change thereof. Trends of data and the like distributed using telemetry are observed and are fed back to load control through control using an AI or a rule base. In a case in which distribution intervals of each data item are changed, the distribution intervals are changed to a multiple of a basic cycle to curb influences on correlations among the items.

[Problem] In a disaggregated optical transmission system formed by connecting bases including transmission apparatuses having specifications of different vendors through an optical fiber, wavelength information is easily set in the transmission apparatuses at both bases of the optical fiber such that the required wavelength is assigned to the optical fiber. [Solution] The optical transmission systemincludes a facility DBthat stores at least information on the NW configuration in which a predetermined optical signal wavelength is assigned to the optical fiber, a wavelength assignment unitthat, if the facility DBstores no information on the same NW configuration as a NW configuration that the wavelength assignment request to the optical fiberbetween bases has, associates a management number with a wavelength commonly available for different vendors, based on vendor information in which management numbers and wavelengths of vendors are associated, and further if this wavelength is assignable to the optical fiber, performs a wavelength assignment instruction by using the management number, and a wavelength setting unitthat performs wavelength assignment setting in the transmission apparatuses at both bases of the optical fiberin response to the wavelength assignment instruction.
